  1. A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. Thecurrent is 1.6 A for the 0.1 μs duration for each pulse.
  1. How many electrons are accelerated in each pulse?
  2. What is the average current of the beam if there are 1000pulses per second?
  3. If each electron acquires an energy of 400 MeV, what is theaverage power output of the accelerator? Assume there are 1000pulses per second for the accelerator.
  4. What is the peak output power? Hint: this occurs when1012 electrons are accelerated in 0.1 μs.
