MCQ
In a radioactive decay process , the negatively charged emitted $\beta -$ particles are
  • A
    the electrons orbiting around the nucleus
  • B
    the electrons produced as a result of collisions between atoms
  • the electrons produced as a result of the decay of neautrons inside the nucleus
  • D
    the electrons present inside the nucleus

Answer

Correct option: C.
the electrons produced as a result of the decay of neautrons inside the nucleus
c
In beta minus decay $\left(\beta^{-}\right),$ a neutron is transformed into a proton and an electron is emitted with the nucleus along with an antineutrino.

$n \rightarrow p+e^{-}+\bar{v}$

where $\bar{v}$ is the antineutrino

Plane figures made of thin wires of resistance $R = 50$ milli ohm/metre are located in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular into the plane of the figures and which decrease at the rate $dB/dt =\, 0.1 \,m \,T/s$. Then currents in the inner and outer boundary are. (The inner radius $a = 10 \,cm$ and outer radius $b = 20 \,cm$)
A uniform magnetic field acts at right angles to the direction of motion of electrons. As a result, the electron moves in a circular path of radius 2 cm. If the speed of the electrons is doubled, then the radius of the circular path will be
