A "cathode ray tube" (CRT), as shown in the image at right and the diagram below, is an evacuated glass tube. A current runs through a filament at the right end of the tube. When the metal filament gets very hot, electrons occasionally escape from it. These electrons can be accelerated away from the filament by Coil applying a potential difference Avacr across the metal plates labelled A and B in Accelerating plates the diagram. The electrons pass through a hole in plate B and enter the glass sphere. There they pass between the two horizontal metal "deflection" plates labelled C and D. A potential difference AVdef can be applied across these plates, to deflect the beam of electrons. Coil In front of and in back of the glass sphere are two coils, through which current Deflection plates can be run to produce a magnetic field in the region between the deflection plates. The coils are oriented so they both produce magnetic fields into the page in this region. Oj out of the page .......SFilament O k into the page Coil ) m zero magnitude Which of the accelerating plates, A or B, has a positive charge? --Select-- v If the potential difference across the deflection plates, AVdef, is zero, the electrons in the beam travel in a straight line, as indicated on the diagram by the dashed blue path However, if AVdef is not zero, the electron beam is deflected downward, following the path indicated on the diagram by the dashed red path. If the beam follows the dashed red path, which of the arrows (a-m) above best indicates the direction of the electric field between the deflection plates? -Select--- v If a current runs through the coils, there will be a magnetic field in the region between the deflection plates. If the magnetic field made by the coils points into the page in the region between the plates, which arrow (a-m) best indicates the direction of the magnetic force on an electron in the beam? (You can neglect the effect of the Earth's magnetic field, which is small.) --Select-- v The accelerating potential difference is measured to be 3.2 kilovolts. What is the speed of an electron after it passes through the hole in plate B? v = m/s Each of the two coils has 320 turns. The average radius of the coil is 6 cm. The distance from the center of one coil to the electron beam is 3 cm. If a current of 0.4 ampere runs through the coils, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a location on the axis of the coils, midway between the coils? (The electron beam passes through this location.) (When deciding whether to use an exact or an approximate formula here, consider the relative magnitudes of the distances involved). |T In a particular experiment, the accelerating potential difference AVacc is set t 3.2 kilovolts. The distance between the deflection plates is 8 mm. A current of 0.4 amperes runs through the coils, and the potential difference Avdef is adjusted until the electron beam again follows the straight line indicated by the dashed blue path. In this situation (electron beam traveling in a straight line), which of the following statements are true? O The magnetic force on an electron in the beam is in the direction of its motion. O The net force on an electron in the beam is zero. O The electric force on an electron in the beam is equal in magnitude to the magnetic force on the electron. O The magnitude of the electric field in the region is equal to the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region. O The electric and magnetic forces on an electron in the beam are in opposite directions. O The angle between the electric field and the magnetic field in the region is 180 degrees. What is the value of Avdef reguired to make the electron beam travel in a straight line? JAVdefl =
