It is given that the half life for certain radioactive element is 5 min. Four nuclei of that element are observed at a certain instant of time. After five minutes

Assertion (A) : It can be definitely said that two nuclei will be left undecayed

Reasoning (R) : After half life i.e. 5 minutes, half of total nuclei will disintegrate.

So only two nuclei will be left undecayed. Then

A radioactive sample decays with an average - life of 20 ms. A capacitor of capacitance 100 μF is charged to a potential V and then a resistance R is connected across the capacitor. What should be value of R so that the ratio? of charge on the capacitor to the activity of the radioactive sample remains constant in time.
