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.
