Question: The charge of an electron is 1.6 × 10?19 C. How many electrons strike the screen of a cathode ray tube each second when the beam current is 16 mA

[AMU (Med.) 2000]

Options:

A) $ 10^{17} $

B) $ 10^{19} $

C) $ 10^{19} $

D) $ 10^{17} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ i=\frac{ne}{t}\Rightarrow 16\times {{10}^{-3}}=\frac{n\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1} $
$ \Rightarrow n=10^{17} $
