Dual Nature Of Light Question 377

Question: The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is 5kV and the current through it is 3.2mA. Then the number of electrons striking the target per second is

Options:

A) $ 2\times 10^{16} $

B) $ 5\times 10^{6} $

C) $ 5\times 10^{6} $

D) $ 4\times 10^{15} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ I=\frac{q}{t}=\frac{ne}{t} $ No. of electrons striking the target per second $ =\frac{I}{e}=2\times 10^{16} $
