An electron beam accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 5000 V in vacuum is allowed to impinge on a surface normally. The incident current is 50μA and if the electrons come to rest on striking the surface, the force on it is

a
1.1924×10−8N
b
2.1×10−8N
c
1.6×10−8N
d
1.7×10−8N

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Energy =12mv2=5000eV=5000×1.6×10−19 joule mv=2×5000×1.6×10−19m=4×10−8m=n=qe=Ite=50×10−6×11.6×10−19=31.25×1013Force = change of momentum per second=nmv=31.25×1013×4×10-8m =1.1924×10-8N
