  6. Electron guns are used in X-ray tubes. The electrons are accelerated through a relatively large voltage and directed onto a metal target, producing X-rays. (a) How many electrons per second strike the target if the current is 0.500 mA ? (b) What charge strikes the target in 0.750 s?

  9. The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P=V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P=I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.
