$A$ radioactive sample consists of two distinct species having an equal number of atoms $N_0$ initially. The mean-life of one species is $\tau$ and of the other is $5\tau$. The decay products in both cases are stable. The total number of radioactive nuclei at $t = 5\tau$ is:

  • A
    $N_0 \left( \frac{e^5 + 1}{e^5} \right)$
  • B
    $N_0 \left( \frac{e^4 + 1}{e^5} \right)$
  • C
    $N_0 \left( \frac{e + e^5}{e^5} \right)$
  • D
    $N_0 e^{-3}$

Consider a block of conducting material of resistivity ' $\rho$ ' as described. Current ' $I$ ' enters at ' $A$ ' and leaves from ' $D$ '. We apply the superposition principle to find the voltage ' $\Delta V$ ' developed between ' $B$ ' and ' $C$ '. The calculation is done in the following steps:
$(i)$ Take current ' $I$ ' entering from ' $A$ ' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
(ii) Calculate the field $E(r)$ at distance ' $r$ ' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho j$,where $j$ is the current per unit area at ' $r$ '.
(iii) From the ' $r$ ' dependence of $E(r)$,obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
(iv) Repeat $(i)$,(ii),and (iii) for current ' $I$ ' leaving ' $D$ ' and superpose results for ' $A$ ' and ' $D$ '.
For current entering at $A$,the electric field at a distance ' $r$ ' from $A$ is:
