Question

Before the advent of solid-state electronics, vacuum tubes were widely used in radios and other devices. A simple type of vacuum tube known as a diode consists essentially of two electrodes within a highly evacuated enclosure. One electrode, the cathode, is maintained at a high temperature and emits electrons from its surface. A potential difference of a few hundred volts is maintained between the cathode and the other electrode, known as the anode, with the anode at the higher potential.

Suppose a diode consists of a cylindrical cathode with a radius of 6.200

Explanation / Answer

0.5*m*v^2=350*1.6*10^(-19)

v=11.1*10^6 m/s
