In an evacuated tube, electrons are evacuated through a potential difference of 500V. Calculate: their final speed, and consider whether this depends on the accelerating field being uniform. After this acceleration, the electrons pass through a uniform electric field which is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the electrons as they enter the field. This electric field is produced by applying a potential difference of 10V to two parallel plates which are 0.06m long and 0.2m apart. Assuming that the electric field is uniform and confined to the space between the two plates. Determine the angular deflection of the electron beam produced by field.
