Question

An accelerating voltage of 2.42 103 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horizontally north in vacuum toward the center of a viewing screen 37.1 cm away.
(a) What is the magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field?
(c) What is the magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field, taken as 20.0

Answer 1

Answer:

Part (a)  The magnitude of the deflection of electron beam on the screen due to the Earth's gravitational field is 5.97*$10^{-16}$m.

Part (b) The magnitude of the deflection of electron beam on the screen due to the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is $6.19* 10^-3$m
