A nondegenerate silicon sample at room temperature with a length of 2 cm is uniformly doped with boron (B) atoms. Electric field 5 V/cm produces a current density of 0.8 A/cm² through this sample. Sample cross-sectional area is 0.1 cm?. Pn= 4000cm²/V-s µp= 1000 cm²/V-s. Calculate the majority carrier concentration.
