In Example 22.6 the length of a 60 W, 240 Ω lightbulb filament was calculated to be 60 cm.
a. If the potential difference across the filament is 120 V, what is the strength of the electric field inside the filament?
b. Suppose the length of the bulb’s filament were doubled without changing its diameter or the potential difference across it. What would the electric field strength be in this case?
c. Remembering that the current in the filament is proportional to the electric field, what is the current in the filament following the doubling of its length?
d. What is the resistance of the filament following the doubling of its length?

- A Van de Graaff generator is one of the original particle accelerators and can be used to accelerate charged particles like protons or electrons. You may have seen it used to make human hair stand on end or produce large sparks. One application of the Van de Graaff generator is to create X-rays by bombarding a hard metal target with the beam. Consider a beam of protons at 1.00 keV and a current of 5.00 mA produced by the generator, (a) What is the speed of the protons? (b) How many protons are produced each second?arrow_forward4.
