A radio nuclide with half-life `T` days emits `beta`-particles of average kinetic energy `E J`. The radionuclide is used as a source in a machine which generates electric energy with efficiency `25%`. The number of moles of the nuclide required to generate electrical energy at an initial rate `P` is `n=(yTP)/(EN ln(2))` where `'y'` is

A radio nuclide with half life T = 69.31 second emits beta -particles of average kinetic energy E = 11.25eV . At an instant concentration of beta -particles at distance, r = 2m from nuclide is n = 3 xx 10^(13) per m^(3) . (i) Calculate number of nuclei in the nuclide at that instant.

The cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate charged particles such as protons, deutrons, alpha particles, etc. to very high energy. The principle on which a cyclotron works is based on the fact that an electric field can accelerate a charged particle and a magnetic field can throw it into a circular orbit. A particle of charge +q experiences a force qE in an electric field E and this force is independent of velocity of the particle. The particle is accelerated in the direction of the magnetic field. On the other hand, a magnetic field at right angles to the direction of motion of the particle throws the particle in a circular orbit in which the particle revolves with a frequency that does not depend on its speed. A modest potential difference is used as a sources of electric field. If a charged particle is made to pass through this potential difference a number of times, it will acquire an enormous by large velocity and hence kinetic energy. The working of a cyclotron is based on the fact that
