Question

Define the term 'activity' of radionuclide. Write its SI unit.

✓

Answer

The total decay rate of a sample of one or more radionuclide is called activity.Alternate Answer
Radioactive disintegration taking place per second.Alternate Answer
$\text{R} = - \frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dt}} , $where N is the total number of radionuclides at any time ‘t’. SI unit-becquerel(Bq) .

Answer the following:
What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? $($Hint: The earth has an electric field of about $100Vm^{–1}$ at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density $= –10^{–9}Cm^{–2}$. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about $50\ km \ ($beyond which it is good conductor$),$ about $+ 1800C$ is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth.$)$
