In a semiconductor material, both electrons and holes act as charge carriers. A current of 2.4 mA is carried by the flow of 8.5 × 1015 electrons per second in one direction, and a flow of holes in the opposite direction.
What is the rate of flow of holes in the semiconductor? (The magnitude of the charge on both an electron and a hole is 1.6 × 10-19 C)
