An ionisation chamber, with parallel conducting plates as anode and cathodes, has5×107 cm-3electrons and the same number of singly charged positive ions percm3.The electrons are moving toward the anode with velocity 0.4m s-1. If current densityJ=4×10-6 A m-2then the velocity of positive ions moving towards cathode is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Here, No. of electrons

ne=5×107cm-3=5×107×106 m-3

No. of positive ions,np=5×107×106   m -3

=5×1013  m-3

v e =0.4 m s-1;J=4×10-6 A m-2;vp=?Use the relation

J=nee ve+np e vpand solve it forvp

4×10-6=5×1013×1.6×10-19×0.4+(5×1013×1.6×10-19×vp)

vp=4×10-6-3.2×10-68.0×10-6=0.8×10-68×10-6=0.1 m s-1
