Question

Cathode ray tubes in old television sets worked by accelerating electrons and then deflecting them with magnetic fields onto a phosphor screen. The magnetic fields were created by coils of wire on either side of the tube carrying large currents. In one such TV set, the phosphor screen is 51.2 cm wide, and is 11.1 cm away from the center of the magnetic deflection coils (that is, the center of the region of magnetic field). The electron beam is first accelerated through a 22,000 V potential difference before it enters the magnetic field region, which is 1.00 cm wide. The field is approximately uniform and perpendicular to the velocity of the electrons. If the field were turned off, the electrons would hit the center of the screen. What magnitude of magnetic field (in mT) is needed to deflect the electrons so that they hit the far edge of the screen

Answer 1

Answer:

B = 0.046T

Explanation:

given

size of the screen = 51.2cm

distance from center = 11.1cm

region of magnetic field = 1.00cm

V= 22000V= 22kV
