inversely proportional to electronic charge, mention some important applications
of hall effect?
(b) Find the temperature at which there is 1% probability that a state of energy
0.5 eV above the Fermi level will be occupied by an at atom?
(b) Show that Fermi level lies exactly at the middle of the band gap of an intrinsic
semi conductor at T=0 K.
