An electron entering Thomson’s e/m apparatus has an initial velocity (in horizontal direction only) of 4.0 x 106 m/s. In the lab is a permanent horseshoe magnet of strength 12 mT, which you would like to use. (a) What electric fi eld will you need in order to produce zero defl ection of the electrons as they travel through the apparatus? (b) The length of nonzero E and B fi elds is 2.0 cm. When the magnetic fi eld is turned off, but the same electric field remains, how far in the vertical direction will the electron beam be deflected over this length?magnetic fi eld is turned off, but the same electric fi eld remains, how far in the vertical direction will the electron beam be defl ected over this length
In 1897 J.J Thomson ”discovered” the electron by measuring the charge-to-mass ratio of ”cathode rays” (actually, streams of electrons, with charge q and mass m) as follows : (a) First he passed the beam through uniform crossed electric and magnetic fields E and B (mutually perpendicular, and both of them perpendicular to the beam), and adjusted the electric field until he got zero deflection. Derive the speed of the particles (in terms of E and B).(b) Then he turned off the electric field, and measured the radius of curvature, R, of the beam as deflected by the magnetic field alone. In terms of E, B, and R, what is the charge to mass ratio (q/m) of the particles ? (See pictures for original)
