Q

Find the equivalent dose rate

A

Convert last chamber current value (saturated) to amp
nA * 10^-9 = amplitude

Create another column for mass of air in chamber
volume of chamber * gas density
* convert cm^3 to m^3 forvolume
* answer in Kg

Create another column for exposure rate
equivalent dose rate / mass in air chamber
*answer in A/kg

Calculate equivalent dose rate
exposure rate* f0
* answer on Sv
