    If the end A of a wire is irradiated with a-q and the other end B is irradiated with p-n then

    A)  a current will flow from A to B

    B)  there will be no current in the wire

    C)  a current will flow from B task q

    D)  a current will flow from each end to the midpoint of the wire

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    When\[\alpha \text{-}\]particles fall on end A, it will become positive and when\[\beta \text{-}\]particles (i.e., electrons) fall on end B, it will become negative. That is, end A is at higher potential and end B is at lower potential. So, a current will flow from end A to end B to equalize the potential at two ends.
