Question

Back in the day, a standard television tube would work by accelerating electronsthrough an electrostatic potential and then bending them with a magnetic field as shown in thefigure at the right. If the electrostaticpotential difference used to acceleratethe electrons through the anodes is11,000 Volts, estimate the maximumstrength of a magnetic field needed tocontrol the deflection of an electronbeam. You will have to estimatereasonable parameters for the requireddistances.

Explanation / Answer

the condition for the controlling of the deflection of electron beam

elecric force on Electron = magnetic force on the electron

q*E = q*v*B...

here v is the speed of the electron

E = v*B...

but work done on the electon to acclearte it = q*V = chenage in Kinetic energy of the electron

q*V = 0.5*m*v^2..

speed v= sqrt(q*V/(0.5*m)) = sqrt(1.6*10^-19*11000/(0.5*9.1*10^-31))

v = 6.219*10^7 m/s...

E is not given in the problem

if E is known

then Maximum magnetic field is B = E/v =E / (6.219*10^7)
