Question
When a current is established in a wire, the free electrons drift in the direction opposite to the current. Does the number of free electrons in the wire continuously decrease?
✓

Answer

No the complete circuit (which is the only condition to flow current) restores number of electrons equal to the number of electrons passed through wire.

Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons is:
$\Delta\text{E}=(\text{M}_{\text{Z}-1,\text{N}}+\text{M}_{\text{H}}-\text{M}_{\text{Z,N}})\text{c}^2$
where $M_{Z,N}$= mass of an atom with Z protons and N neutrons in the nucleus and $M_H=$ mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
