Heat at the rate of 200 W is produced in an X-ray tube operating at 20 kV. Find the current in the circuit. Assume that only a small fraction of the kinetic energy of electrons is converted into X-rays.

उत्तर
Given:-
Heat produced/second = Power (P) = 200 W
Potential in the X ray tube, V = 20 kV
We know
Power, P = VI
Here, V = potential difference
I = current
But `l = (n e)/t`
Where, e = charge on electron
t = time
n = no of electrons
`therefore P = (n eV)/t`
`⇒ 200 = (n eV)/t`
`⇒ (n e"/"t)V = 200`
`⇒ I = 200/V`
`⇒ I = 200/(20 xx 10^3) = 10 "mA"`

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
