A Geiger-Mueller tube is a radiation detector that consists of a closed, hollow, metal cylinder (the cathode) of inner radius ra and a coaxial cylindrical wire (the anode) of radius rb (see figure below) with a gas filling the space between the electrodes. Assume that the internal diameter of a Geiger-Mueller tube is 1.90 cm and that the wire along the axis has a diameter of 0.210 mm. The dielectric strength of the gas between the central wire and the cylinder is 1.15 106 V/m. Use the equation 2pi·rℓE = qin/ε0

to calculate the maximum potential difference that can be applied between the wire and the cylinder before breakdown occurs in the gas.

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. these cyclotrons typically accelerate h- (the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5 mev to 20 mev. this ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible—about 1 2000 of the proton’s mass. a typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9 t. (a) what is the speed of a 5.0-mev h-? (b) if the h- has energy 5.0 mev and b = 1.9 t, what is the radius of this ion’s circular orbit?
