1. Suppose we measure a Hall voltage $V_H$. Express the Hall resistance $R_{xy} = V_H/I$ as a function of magnetic field. Does $R_{xy}$ depend on the geometry of the sample? Also express $R_{xy}$ in terms of the Hall coefficient $R_H$.
??? question "What is the relation between the electric field and the electric potential?"
$V_b - V_a = -\oint_{\Gamma} \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{\ell}$ if $\Gamma$ is a path from $a$ to $b$.
$V_b - V_a = -\int_{\Gamma} \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{\ell}$ if $\Gamma$ is a path from $a$ to $b$.
2. Assuming we control the magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$, what quantity can we extract from a measurement of the Hall resistance? Would a large or a small magnetic field give a Hall voltage that is easier to measure?
3. Express the longitudinal resistance $R=V/I$, where $V$ is the voltage difference over the sample along the $x$ direction, in terms of the longitudinal resistivity $ρ_{xx}$. Suppose we extracted $n$ from a measurement of the Hall resistance, what quantity can we extract from a measurement of the longitudinal resistance? Does the result depend on the geometry of the sample?
