A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields
to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small
number of the electrons collide with a target, but a large majority
pass through the target and impact a beam dump at the end
of the accelerator. In one experiment the beam dump measured charge
accumulating at a rate of -2.0 nC/s.
How many electrons traveled down the accelerator during the 2.2 h
run?
