1. Express the current density $\bf J$ as a function of the drift velocities $\mathbf{v_e}$ and $\mathbf{v_h}$ of the charge carriers.
2. Show that the drift velocities are given by $\mathbf{v_e} = -\mu_e(\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v_e}\times\mathbf{B})$ and $\mathbf{v_h} = \mu_h(\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v_h}\times\mathbf{B})$
3. Assume that $E_x \gg |v_{e,y}| B_z$ and $E_x \gg |v_{h,y}| B_z$ to show that $J_x = eE_x(n_e\mu_e + n_h\mu_h)$. Discuss the two terms in this equation and why they should be added.
4. Under the same assumption, show that $J_y = eE_x(n_e\mu_e + n_h\mu_h) + eB_zE_x(n_e\mu_e^2-n_h\mu_h^2)$. What should $J_y$ be equal to?
3. Assume that $E_x \gg |v_{e,y}| B_z$ and $E_x \gg |v_{h,y}| B_z$ to show that $J_x = eE_x(n_e\mu_e + n_h\mu_h)$. Discuss the two terms of this last equation and why they should be added.
4. Under the same assumption, show that $J_y = eE_y(n_e\mu_e + n_h\mu_h) + eB_zE_x(n_e\mu_e^2-n_h\mu_h^2)$. What should $J_y$ be equal to?
5. Use the derived equations to show that the Hall electric field is
$$ E_y = J_xB_z\frac{n_h\mu_h^2 - n_e\mu_e^2}{e(n_h\mu_h + n_e \mu_e)^2} $$
Extract the Hall coefficient $R_H$ and discuss what determines its sign.
