Replace the scalar pressure P by 1/3 times the trace of the tensor pressure, e.g. \beta = 1/3 (P_xx + P_yy + P_zz) / (B^2 / 2 \mu_0) . In the isotropic case P_xx = P_yy = P_zz and you get the usual definition.

If a beta particle is an electron explain how a radioisotope undergoing beta decay ends up being a different atom?

Beta particles, by definition, are either electrons or positrons, however most beta particles are electrons, and their production is called Beta- decay. In Beta- decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, an electron, and an electron antineutrino. The is actually done when a down quark is converted into an up quark by emitting a W- boson, which then decays into the electron and the electron antineutrino. Since the nucleus gains a proton, it becomes a different element.


How can a beta-adrenoreceptor blocker be used to treat high blood pressure?

The beta-adrenoceptor blockers block both beta 1 and beta 2 adrenoceptors. The blockage of beta 1 adrenoceptors results in a decreased heart rate and contractility. The cardiac output will hence be reduced leading to the blood pressure being lowered. In addition, the beta-adrenoceptors also act on the beta 1 adrenoceptors of the kidney. It leads to plasma renin activity being supressed so that less angiotensin II is formed. Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor itself and it can also induce the release of the antidiruetic hormone and aldosterone which contributes towards the blood pressure being increased.
