TheElectrongun What is an Electron Gun?
Electronenergy • Where: e = electroncharge ( 1.6 x10-19 C) V = d.cvoltage (cathode – anode)
Cathoderaysproperties • These rays originate from cathode. • Cathode rays travel in straight line. • Cathode rays carry negative charge. • Cathode rays are deflected by electric field. • Cathode rays are deflected by magnetic field. • These rays consist of material particles. • Cathode rays consist of "electron". • Produce a shadow when obstructed by objects. • Cathode rays can produce fluorescence.
tube diagram y plates x plates anode heater supply - + phosphor screen H.T. supply
electron gun produces a beam of electrons light produced on the screen by electron beam a p.d. across the y plates deflects the trace vertically a p.d. across the x plates deflects the trace horizontally summary y plates x plates anode heater supply - + phosphor screen H.T. supply
peak voltage Peak p.d. = 3 Divisions x 1.0 mV/div = 3.0 mV
period & frequency period = 4.0 divisions x 1.0 ms/div = 4.0 ms frequency = 1 / period frequency = 1 / 0.004 s frequency = 250 Hz
