Q. In a discharge tube when $200\, V$ potential difference is applied $6.25 \times 10^{18}$ electrons move from cathode to anode and $3.125 \times 10^{18}$ singly charged positive ions move from anode to cathode in one second. Then the power of tube (in $W$) is______.

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Solution:

We use $P=V_{q}=200\left(6.25 \times 10^{18}+3.125 \times 10^{18}\right) \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$
$=300$ watt
