An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.

The current density is uniformly distributed through the beam. The kinetic energy of each proton is 20 MeV. The beam strikes a metal target and is absorbed by the target. (a) What is the number density of the protons in the beam

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Why is electrical energy considered as potential energy as its the energy of moving electrons?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: When the electrons move in another direction, they convert this chemical potential energy to electricity in the circuit, thus discharging the battery. So, the battery is all potential energy.
