4. Calculate the number of ion pairs produced by an electron with kinetic energy of 1.0 MeV
passing through a 30 mm thick ionization chamber. What is the total charge of electrons? If
a hundred such particles pass through the chamber each second and all the ions are
collected at the electrodes what is the total current?
