7 Protons used as nuclear probes need to gain a significant amount of kinetic energy. This can be
achieved by accelerating the protons through an electric field. (a) In Fig.7.1, protons are accelerated when they pass between electrode 1 and 2 with a
potential difference of 2000 V.
Fig.7.2 is a sectional view of the space between the two electrodes in Fig.7.1 showing the
electric field lines.

(d) A linear accelerator (LINAC) overcomes the problem of producing high-energy particles without especially large potential difference by having a large number of accelerating stages. Fig. 7.4 shows a LINAC consisting of a large number n of accelerating stages achieved by passing the beam of protons through a series of n coaxial cylindrical tubes.
Fig. 7.4 Alternate tubes are connected to the same output terminal of a high frequency alternating p.d. The length of the gap between adjacent tubes is constant, but the length of the tubes increases along the accelerator path towards the target to ensure the alternating p.d. matches the position of the accelerating protons. For a proton to be continually accelerated, it is necessary that the potential difference between adjacent tubes reverse as the proton passes through. A proton travels at constant speed inside each tube. The proton crosses the gaps between the tubes at equal time intervals, and at each gap, their kinetic energy increases by a fixed amount.
(i) Explain why tube 2 must be at a more negative potential than tube 1 to accelerate the
protons leaving tube 1. ………………………………………………………………………………………..…………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………….… [1]
(ii) As the protons pass through tube 2, it is necessary that the potential of tube 2 changes
polarity. Explain why. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….. …….…………………………………………………………………………………………… [1]

8 Many sensitive pieces of equipment such as computers and fax machines may be damaged by
current overload, even when this overload occurs for a relatively short time. One method of protection is to use a fuse in which the fuse wire melts a very short time after the circuit overloads. Typically this time is of the order of a few milliseconds. Fig 8.1 illustrates a one-ampere ‘quick-blow’ fuse. One way of measuring the time taken for the fuse wire to melt is to use a circuit containing a delay-trace oscilloscope. In this oscilloscope the trace remains visible on the screen for several seconds after the signal has been received.

Fig. 8.2 shows the screen of such an oscilloscope used in a circuit where a quick-blow fuse has been tested. Design an experiment using a delay-trace oscilloscope to measure the time taken for a 1 A fuse to blow in a circuit in which there is a current of 2 A. You should draw a circuit diagram showing how the equipment would be arranged. In your account you should pay particular attention to (a) the procedure to be followed, (b) the magnitudes of any potential differences and resistances used in your experiment, (c) how the oscilloscope would be used to measure the time taken for the fuse wire to melt, (d) the control of variables, (e) any precautions that you would take to improve the accuracy of the experiment.
