QUESTION:
Problem 75GP
The Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab (Illinois) is designed to carry an 11-mA beam of protons (q=1.6 x 10-19C) travelling at very nearly the speed of light (3.0 x 108 m/s) around a ring 6300 m in circumference,. How many protons are in the beam?
ANSWER:
Step-by-step solution
Step 1 of 3
- the current
- the speed of protons
The distance traveled by protons is equal to circumference of the ring: 6300 m
The velocity of the protons is distance travelled divided by time of travel.
