a. State the function of each of the following parts of a modern x-ray tube: i. heater; ii. high tension source; iii. cooling fins.
b. State one reason for each of the following design features of a modern x-ray tube: i. the glass envelope is highly evacuated; ii. the target is a metal of very high melting point; iii. the cooling fins are located outside the glass envelope.
c. In a nuclear fission reaction, a nuclide \(^{235}U_{92}\) is bombarded with a neutron to produce \(^{93}Kr_{36}\) and \(^{141}Ba_{56}\) with additional neutrons, the energy involved in the process is Q.
[mass of \(^{235}U_{92}\) = 235.044 u, mass of \(^{93}Kr_ {36}\) = 91.898 u, mass of \(^{141}Ba_ {56}\) = 140.914 u,
mass of neutron = 1.009u, 1u = \(1.66 \times 10^{27}\) kg, c = 3.0 × \(10^8ms^1\)]
i. Write down the balanced nuclear reaction equation for the process.
ii. State with reason whether Q is absorbed or released in the process.
iii. Calculate the value of Q in joules.
A metal sphere is placed on an insulating stand. A negatively charged rod is brought close to it. If the sphere is earthed and the rod is taken away, what will be the charge on the sphere?
