Chapter 9, Problem 70P
An experiment is performed to demonstrate the Hall effect. A thin rectangular strip of semiconductor with width 10 cm and length 30 cm is attached to a battery and immersed in a 1.50-T field perpendicular to its surface. This produced a Hall voltage of 12 V. What is the drift velocity of the charge earners?

A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) controls large currents by applying a small voltage to a thin sheet of
electrons. The density and mobility of the electrons in the sheet are critical for the operation of the HEMT.
HEMTS consisting of AlGaN/GaN/Si are being studied because they promise better performance at higher
powers, temperatures, and frequencies than conventional silicon HEMTS can achieve. In one study, the Hall
effect was used to measure the density of electrons in one of these new HEMTs. When a current of 12.1 ?A flows
through the length of the electron sheet, which is 1.12 mm long, 0.223 mm wide, and 15.1 nm thick, a magnetic
field of 1.05 T perpendicular to the sheet produces a voltage of 0.511 mV across the width of the sheet. What is
the density of electrons per m3 in the sheet?
A diode is an electronic component through which an electric current flows according to the potential difference applied across its terminals. The figure to the side shows the typical curve of a diode. At what point on the curve is the resistance of the diode minimum? At what point is it maximum? Justify your answer.
