A Geiger Counter Is Like an Electroscope That Discharges Whenever

question 64

Short Answer

A Geiger counter is like an electroscope that discharges whenever ions formed by a radioactive particle produce a conducting path. A typical Geiger counter consists of a thin conducting wire of radius 0.002 cm stretched along the axis of a conducting cylinder of radius 2.0 cm. The wire and the cylinder carry equal and opposites charges of 8.0 × 10−¹⁰ C all along their length of 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the surface of the wire?
