Question
In a cylindrical conductor, a direct current is flowing. Is there any electric field inside the conductor?
✓
Answer
Current flows in the conductor only when electric field established inside the conductor applies force on every free electron. Hence there is electric field inside the conductor.

Na. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted assuming that the daughter nucleus and anti-neutrino carry negligible kinetic energy.$\left\{\text{mass of} \frac{23}{10} Ne = 22.994466 u\right\}$
$\left\{\text{mass of}\frac{23}{11}Na=22.989770u\right\}$
$\left\{ 1u = 931.5\text{MeV}/ c^{2}\right\}$
