$A$ potential difference of $2\,V$ is applied between the opposite faces of a $Ge$ crystal plate of area $1\,cm^{2}$ and thickness $0.5\,mm$. If the concentration of electrons in $Ge$ is $2 \times 10^{19}/m^{3}$ and mobilities of electrons and holes are $0.36\,m^{2}/(V\cdot s)$ and $0.14\,m^{2}/(V\cdot s)$ respectively,then the current flowing through the plate will be...
