An x-ray tube is an evacuated glass tube that produces electrons at one end and then accelerates them to very high speeds by the time they reach the other end. The acceleration is accomplished using an electric field. The high-speed electrons hit a metal target at the other end, and the violence of the collision converts their kinetic energy into high-energy light rays, commonly known as x-rays.
(a) Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 2.7 % of the speed of light when they hit the target?
(b) What potential difference would be needed to give protons the same kinetic energy as the electrons?
(c) What speed would this potential difference give to protons?

Now that we have a feel for the state of the circuit in its steady state, let us obtain the expression for the current in the circuit as a function of time. note that we can use the loop rule (going around counterclockwise): e−vr−vl=0. note as well that vr=ir and vl=ldidt. using these equations, we can get, after some rearranging of the variables and making the subsitution x=er−i, dxx=−rldt. integrating both sides of this equation yields x=x0e−rt/l. use this last expression to obtain an expression for i(t). remember that x=er−i and that i0=i(0)=0. express your answer in terms of e, r, and l. you may or may not need all these variables. use the notation exp(x) for ex.
