Question
When $1.0 \times 10^{12}$ electrons are transferred from one conductor to another, a potential difference of 10V appears between the conductors. Calculate the capacitance of the two-conductor system.
✓

Answer

Given that
Number of electron $= 1 \times 10^{12}$
Net charge $Q = 1 \times 10^{12} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 1.6 \times 10^{-7}C$
$\therefore$ The net potential difference = 10L.
$\therefore$ Capacitance
$\text{C}=\frac{\text{q}}{\text{v}}$
$=\frac{1.6\times10^{-7}}{10}=1.6\times10^{-8}\text{F}.$

Radioactive isotopes are produced in a nuclear physics experiment at a constant rate $\frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dt}}=\text{R}.$ An inductor of inductance 100mH, a resistor of resistance $100\Omega$ and a battery are connected to form a series circuit. The circuit is switched on at the instant the production of radioactive isotope starts. It is found that $\frac{\text{i}}{\text{N}}$ remains constant in time where i is the current in the circuit at time t and N is the number of active nuclei at time t. Find the half-life of the isotope.
