Question

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of the electrons collide with a target, but a large majority pass through the target and impact a beam dump at the end of the accelerator. In one experiment the beam dump measured charge accumulating at a rate of -2.0 nC/s. How many electrons traveled down the accelerator during the 2.0 h run

Answer 1

Answer:i

9E13 ELECTRONS

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the number of charges in two hrs

Which is - 2x 7200=- 14400NC

So no of electrons is now q/e

-144x10^-7/-1.6*10^-19

= 9*10^13
