A cell of emf ‘E’ and internal resistance ‘r’ is connected across a variable load resistor R. Draw the terminal voltage V versus (i) R and (ii) the current l. It is found that whenR=4 Omega, the current is 1 A and when R is increased to 9 Omega, the current reduce to 0.5 A. Find the values of the emf E and internal resistance r.

Solution :(i)For large impact parameter, almost all alpha particles go nearly undeviated and have small deflection. This shows that the mass of the atom is concentrated in a small volume in the form of nucleus and gives an idea of size of nucleus.

(ii)An alpha particle having small impact parameter suffers large scattering and in case of head-on-collision, the alpha particle rebounds back. The radius (size) R of nucleus is RELATED to its mass NUMBER (A) as
`R=R_(0)A^(1//3)`
If m is the average mass of a nucleon, then mass of nucleus = mA, where A is mass number
Volume of nucleus `=(4)/(3)PI R^(3)=(4)/(3)pi (R_(0)A^(1//3))=(4)/(3)pi R_(0)^(3)A`
Density of nucleus `rho_(N) = ("mass")/("volume")=(mA)/((4)/(3)pi R_(0)^(3)A)=(m)/((4)/(3)pi R_(0)^(3))=(3M)/(4pi R_(0)^(3))`
Clearly nuclear density`rho_(N)` is independent of mass number A.
OR

In both the process, mass of nucleus PARTICIPATING in the reaction is greater than mass of the product nuclei. This difference in mass `(Delta m)` is converted into energy and released.
Mass defect`= Delta m`
Energy released `=Delta m xx 931 MeV`
`._(1)^(2)H+._(1)^(3)H rarr ._(3)^(4)He+n`
`Delta m = (+2.014102 + 3.016049-1.008665)u`
`=0.018883 u`
Energy released `= Delta m xx 931.5 MeV = 0.018883xx931 MeV`
`= 17.59 MeV`
