The Hall coefficient has the same sign as the charge carrier. The charge carrier in a normal electric current, the electron, is negative, and as a result the Hall coefficient is negative.

Yes, a coefficient of a variable can be negative.


What is the effect of temperature on hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor?

hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor will decrease with increase in temp as hall coefficient is inversely proportional to number density of charge carriers.


What is the range of correlation coefficient and what does its value tell?

The product-moment correlation coefficient or PMCC should have a value between -1 and 1. A positive value shows a positive linear correlation, and a negative value shows a negative linear correlation. At zero, there is no linear correlation, and the correlation becomes stronger as the value moves further from 0.

How change of origin or scale effect value of co-efficient of co-relation?

The correlation coefficient is unaffected by change of origin or scale unless one of the sets of variables is multiplied by a negative term, in which case the correlation coefficient will become negative.


What is the meaning of negative coefficient of x?

In the form y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept and m is the coefficient, so if an equation has a negative coefficient, m<0. As a graph, the slope of the line is negative.
