252 Chapter 7 Vectors

In equilibrium the magnitude of the electric field, |E H

|, is constant and so we can

write |E H

| = V H

, whereListhe widthof the semiconductor. Hence,

So, by measuring the value of the Hall voltage, it is possible to calculate the density

of the holes, p 0

, inthe semiconductor.
