Can anyone give some hints on this problem?
This is about current and resistance.
Problem: A steady beam of alpha particles (q= +2e) traveling with constant kinetic energy 20MeV carries a current of 0.25 micro ampere.
(a) If the beam is directed perpendicular to a plane surfece, how many alpha particlees strike the surface in 3.0s?
(b) At any instant, how many alpha particles are there in a given 20 cm length of the beam?
(c) Through what potential difference was it necessary to accelearte each alpha particle from rest to bring it to an energy of 20 MeV?
Thanks,
