Which outcome occurs when a uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to a current-carrying semiconductor?

💡 Explanation

When a magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to a current-carrying semiconductor, the Lorentz force causes charge carriers to accumulate on one side creating the Hall effect, generating a measurable voltage difference. Therefore a voltage difference is observed, rather than increased conductivity, reduced resistance, or tunneling, which involve different physical principles and configurations.
