The electron beam emerging from an accelerator has a circular cross section of radius 1 mm. If the beam current is 8 μA, and the speed of the electrons is 3*108 m/s, then the number density of the electrons (in 1010 m-3) in the beam is:
Protons in the cosmic rays strike the earth’s upper atmosphere at a rate, averaged over the earth’s surface, of 0.15 protons/cm2 -sec. What total current does the earth receive from beyond its atmosphere in the form of incident cosmic ray protons? (Earth’s radius = 6.4×106 meters).
The beam, consisting of electrons with constant kinetic energy and uniform density, carries a current of 1 mA. The cross-section-area of the beam is 23 mm², the electron density is 3x10^12 cm-3. If the electric current is directed to the right, what is the magnitude (m/s) and direction of the velocity of the electrons?
