Question

Suppose that a particle accelerator is used to move two beams of particles in opposite directions. In a particular region, electrons move to the right at 7130 m/s and protons move to the left at 1681 m/s. The particles are evenly spaced with 0.0570 m between electrons and 0.0322 m between protons. Assuming that there are no collisions and that the interactions between the particles are negligible, what is the magnitude of the average current in this region?

Explanation / Answer

I = I proton + I electrons = 1.6E-19*(7130/0.057 + 1681/0.0322)=2.84E-14 A
