Hall measurements are made on a p-type semiconductor bar 500 u,m wide and
20 u,m thick. The Hall contacts A and B are displaced 2 p-m with respect to
each other in the direction of current flow of 3 mA. The voltage between A
and B with a magnetic field of 10 kG (lkG = 10^-5 Wb/cm2) pointing out of the
plane of the sample is 3.2 mV. When the magnetic field direction is reversed the
voltage changes to - 2 .8 mV. What is the hole concentration and mobility?

Figure 1. A rectangular sample of semiconductor is in a magnetic field B, oriented approximately into the page, as shown. The sample is connected to
an ammeter, voltmeter and a voltage source.
The schematic shows a circuit involving a sample of semiconductor, whose cross-section is L by w. The sketch is not to scale and the electrodes
attached to the sample are not shown. A uniform magnetic field B is applied in the direction indicated by the crosses (roughly, into the page). Each
charge carrier has a charge q and the density of charge carriers, measured in ions per cubic metre, is n.
