A radioactive sample has an average life of 30ms and is decaying. A capacitor of capacitance 200 µF is first charged and later connected with resistor 'R'. If the ratio of charge on capacitor to the activity of radioactive sample is fixed with respect to time then the value of 'R' should be _______ Ω.

= 1/λ = 30×10? ³ sec.
C = 200µF, R
Q/A = constant [Given]
A = A? e? & Q = Q? e? /?
Q/A = (Q? /A? ) e^ (-t/RC + λt) = constant
For this to be constant, the exponent must be zero.
-t/RC + λt = 0
1/RC = λ
R = 1/ (λC) =/C = 30×10? ³/200×10? = 150 Ω
