A cathode ray tube (CRT) is a device that produces a focused beam of electrons in a vacuum. The electrons strike a phosphor-coated glass screen at the end of the tube, which produces a bright spot of light. The position of the bright spot of light on the screen can be adjusted by deflecting the electrons with electrical fields, magnetic fields, or both. Although the CRT tube was once commonly found in televisions, computer displays, and oscilloscopes, newer appliances use a liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma screen. You still may come across a CRT in your study of science. Consider a CRT with an electron beam average current of 31.00 μA. How many electrons strike the screen every minute?

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

A cathode ray tube (CRT) is a device that produces a focused beam of electrons in a vacuum. The electrons strike a phosphor-coated glass screen at the end of the tube, which produces a bright spot of light.
The position of the bright spot of light on the screen can be adjusted by deflecting the electrons with electrical fields, magnetic fields, or both. Although the CRT tube was once commonly found in televisions,
computer displays, and oscilloscopes, newer appliances use a liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma screen. You still may come across a CRT in your study of science. Consider a CRT with an electron beam
average current of 31.00 μA. How many electrons strike the screen every minute?

J. J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of cathode rays. His other important contribution was the invention, together with one of his students, of the mass spectrometer, a device that measures the ratio of mass m to (positive) charge q of an ion. The spectrometer consists of two regions as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) In the first region an electric field accelerates the ion and in the second the ion follows a circular arc in a magnetic field. The radius of curvature of the arc can be measured and then the m/q ratio can be Figure V B • Part A Find the ratio m/q for this particle. Express your answer numerically in kilograms per coulomb.
