question 44

Multiple Choice

The Hall effect can be used to calculate the charge-carrier number density in a conductor.If a conductor carrying a current of 2.0 A is 0.5 mm thick, and the Hall effect voltage is 4.5 µV when it is in a uniform magnetic field of 1.2 T, what is the density of charge carriers in the conductor?

• B)6.7 x 10²⁷/m³
• C)4.6 x 10²⁷/m³
• D)1.7 x 10²⁷/m³
• E)1.2 x 10²⁷/m³
