5) The Geometric factor of the following electrode configuration is

 


 

 

(Thanks to Chandrasekhar, ANU)

Solution:

The apparent resistivity $\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[(\frac{1}{r_{1}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}})-(\frac{1}{r_{3}}-\frac{1}{r_{4}})]^{-1}---(1)$

  From the figure $r_{1}$=a

         $r_{2}$=∞

         $r_{3}$=2a

$r_{4}$=∞

 

 By substituting the above values in equation (1)

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[(\frac{1}{r_{1}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}})-(\frac{1}{r_{3}}-\frac{1}{r_{4}})]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[(\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{\infty})-(\frac{1}{2a}-\frac{1}{\infty})]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[(\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{2a})]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[\frac{2a-a}{2a^{2}}]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[\frac{a}{2a^{2}}]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 2\pi \frac{\triangle V}{I}[\frac{1}{2a}]^{-1}$

$\rho_{a}= 4 \pi a \frac{\triangle V}{I}$

  1. The half life of a parent radionuclide is 100years, if parent radionuclide decays to daughter radionuclide which itself decays with a decay constant of 1/4th that of the parent radionuclide, then the radioactive equilibrium will be reached after how many years? (Assume at time t=0 the number of daughter radionuclide is zero)
