1.	A thermonuclear device consists of a torus of diameter 3 m with a tube of diameter 1 m, containing deuterium molecules gas at 10−2 mm mercury pressure and 293 K. A bank of capacitors of 1200 µF is discharged through the tube at 40 kV. If only 10% of the electrical energy is transformed to plasma kinetic energy, then the maximum temperature attained is (answer the nearest integer)..............×105 K. Assuming that the energy is equally shared between the deutrons and electrons in the plasma.
Answer» A thermonuclear device consists of a torus of diameter $3 m$ with a tube of diameter 1 m, containing deuterium molecules gas at $10^{- 2}$ mm mercury pressure and $293 K$ . A bank of capacitors of 1200 µF is discharged through the tube at $40 kV$ . If only 10% of the electrical energy is transformed to plasma kinetic energy, then the maximum temperature attained is (answer the nearest integer).............. $\times 10^{5} K$ . Assuming that the energy is equally shared between the deutrons and electrons in the plasma.
