A steady beam of alpha particles (q2e) traveling with constant kinetic energy 20 MeV carries a current of0.25 A . (a) If the beam is directed perpendicular to a flat surface, how many alpha particles strike the surface in 3.0 s? (b) At any instant, how many alpha particles are there in a given 20 cmlength of the beam? (c) Through what potential difference is it necessary to accelerate each alpha particle from rest to bring it to energy of 20 MeV ?
In Figure-a, aresistor is connected to a battery. Figure-bshows the increase of thermal energy in the resistor as a function of time t. The vertical scale is set by, and the horizontal scale is set byrole="math" localid="1661413706195" . What is the electric potential across the battery?

The headlights of a moving car require about 10 Afrom the 12 Valternator, which is driven by the engine. Assume the alternator isefficient (its output electrical power is 80%of its input mechanical power), and calculate the horsepower the engine must supply to run the lights.
How long does it take electrons to get from a car battery to the starting motor? Assume the current is 300 Aand the electrons travel through a copper wire with cross-sectional areaand length 0.85 m. The number of charge carriers per unit volume is.
The following table gives the lengths of three copper rods, their diameters, and the potential differences between their ends. Rank the rods according to (a) the magnitude of the electric field within them, (b) the current density within them, and (c) the drift speed of electrons through them, greatest first.
