Get started for freeA large cyclotron directs a beam of He++ nuclei onto a target with a beam current of 0.250 mA.
(a) How many He++ nuclei per second is this?
(b) How long does it take for 1.00 C to strike the target?
(c) How long before 1.00 mol of He++ nuclei strike the target?
Some surgery is performed with high-voltage electricity passing from a metal scalpel through the tissue being cut. Considering the nature of electric fields at the surface of conductors, why would you expect most of the current to flow from the sharp edge of the scalpel? Do you think high- or low-frequency AC is used?
An electrified needle is used to burn off warts, with the circuit being completed by having the patient sit on a large butt plate. Why is this plate large?
What are the two major hazards of electricity?
