{title2=$r_H$}

For one positive carrier population, define $r_H$ by $R_H=r_H/(ep)$ with $e>0$. Different statistical averages of energy-dependent scattering affect <hall conductivity> and longitudinal <electrical conductivity>, so $r_H$ need not be one. The measured <Hall mobility> is $\mu_H=\sigma R_H=r_H\mu_{\rm drift}$. Multiple <charge carriers> require a more general model even before such a correction is made.
