Question
The saturation current from a thoriated-tungsten cathode at 2000K is 100mA. What will be the saturation current for a pure-tungsten cathode of the same surface area operating at the same temperature? The constant A in the Richardson-Dushman equation is $60 \times 10^4Am^{-2}K^{-2}$ for pure tungsten and $3.0 \times 10^4Am^{-2}k^{-2}$ for thoriated tungsten. The work function of pure tungsten is 4.5eV and that of thoriated tungsten is 2.6eV.

Answer

$\text{i}=\text{AST}^2\text{ e}^{\frac{-\phi}{\text{KT}}}$
$\text{i}_1=\text{i},\ \text{i}_2=100\text{mA}$
$\text{A}_1=60\times10^4,\ \text{A}_2=3\times10^4$
$\text{S}_1=\text{S},\ \text{S}_2=\text{S}$
$\text{T}_1=2000,\ \text{T}_2=2000$
$\phi_1=4.5\text{eV},\ \phi_2 =2.6\text{eV}$
$\text{i}=(60\times10^{4})(\text{S})\times(2000)^2\frac{-45\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{\text{e}^{1.38\times10^{-23}\times2000}}$
$100=(3\times10^{4})(\text{S})\times(2000)^2\frac{-2.6\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{\text{e}^{1.38\times10^{-23}\times2000}}$
Dividing the equation,
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{i}}{100}=\text{e}^{\big[\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10}{1.38\times2}\big(\frac{-2.6\times1.6\times10}{1.38\times20}\big)\big]}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{i}}{100}=20\times\text{e}^{-11.014}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{i}}{100}=20\times0.000016$
$\Rightarrow\text{i}=20\times0.0016=0.0329\text{mA}=33\mu\text{A}$

When the atomic dipoles are aligned partially or fully, there is a net magnetic moment in the direction of the field in any small volume of the material. The actual magnetic field inside material placed in magnetic field is the sum of the applied magnetic field and the magnetic field due to magnetisation. This field is called magnetic intensity (H).
$\text{H}=\frac{\text{B}}{\mu_0}-\text{M}$
where Mis the magnetisation of the material, flo is the permittivity of vacuum and B is the total magnetic field. The measure that tells us how a magnetic material responds to an external field is given by a dimensionless quantity is appropriately called the magnetic susceptibility: for a certain class of magnetic materials, intensity of magnetisation is directly proportional to the magnetic intensity.

  1. Volume of sample per unit magnetic moment.
