In a particle accelerator,a current of $500 \,\mu A$ is carried by a proton beam in which each proton has a speed of $3 \times 10^7 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the beam is $1.50 \,mm^2$. The charge density in this beam (in $C/m^3$) is close to

  • A
    $10^{-8}$
  • B
    $10^{-7}$
  • C
    $10^{-6}$
  • D
    $10^{-5}$
