3)αparticle of energy 5MeV pass through an ionisation chamber at the rate of 10 pwe second . Assum that all the energy is used in producing ion pairs,calculate the current produced. (35MeV is required for producing an ion pair and e=1.6×10^(-19) C) solution: Energy of α particles=5×10^6 eV Energy required for producing one ion pair=35eV No.of ion pairs produced by one α particle =((5×10^6 )/(35))=1.426×10^5 since 10 particle enter the chamber in one second =1.426×10^5 ×10=1.426×10^6 charge on dach ion=1.6×10^(-19) C Current=(1.426×10^6 )×(1.6×10^(-19) )C/s =2.287×10^(-13) A.
