current density
Question

Electrons emerge from an electron accelerator as a beam having a circular cross-section of diameter 3 mm. The beam current is 6 μA and electrons are travelling so fast that their speed can be taken as c = 3 x 108 m/sec with an insignificant error. Electron density in the beam is :

Moderate
Solution

I=neAvd n=IeAvd=6 x 10-61.6 x 10-19π1.5 x 10-323 x 108 =1.77 x 1010 m-3
