In an electron microscope, there is an electron gun that contains two charged metallic plates 3.15 cm apart. An electric force accelerates each electron in the beam from rest to 9.40% of the speed of light over this distance. (Ignore the effects of relativity in your calculations.) (à) Determine the kinetic energy of the electron as it leaves the electron gun. Electrons carry this energy to a phosphorescent viewing screen where the microscope's image is formed, making it glow. (b) For an electron passing between the plates in the electron gun, determine the magnitude of the constant electric force acting on the electron. N (c) Determine the acceleration of the electron. m/s2 (d) Determine the time interval the electron spends between the plates.

Determine the maximum speed an alpha particle consisting of (mass of two protons and two neutrons = 6.65*10^-24kg) could reach if it moves from rest through a potential difference of 4.95 kV.
Before liquid crystal display LCD computer and television screens, the screens were cathode-ray tube CRTS, in which a bean of electrons was shot towards a Phosphorescent screen at high speed and deflected by electric fields in order to direct the beam to the right place on the screen so that it would form the picture. In a typical television, the speed of the electrons is 1 x10^8 m/s. If the television set is placed so that the CRT beam is horizontal heading east in a place where the earths magnetic field is 5×10^-5 and points horizontally northward what will be the magnetic force on the electron?
