Problem 7

Assume there are 2.8 1014 protons, each with an energy of 6.5 TeV, stored in the 4.25 km radius ring of the LHC

a.) How much current is carried by this beam? (You can assume the beam travels at the speed of light. Remember current is charge per time.)
b.) How fast (in miles/hour) would a 1000 kg car have to move to carry the same kinetic energy as this beam? (Hint: the energy of each proton in the beam is 6.5 TeV.)
