Chapter 29 Problem 14

Question

An accelerating voltage of 2.50 3 103 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 35.0 cm away. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earths gravitational field? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction of the deflection on the screen caused by the vertical component of the Earths magnetic field, taken as 20.0 mT down? (e) Does an electron in this vertical magnetic field move as a projectile, with constant vector acceleration perpendicular to a constant northward component of velocity? (f) Is it a good approximation to assume it has this projectile motion? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An accelerating voltage of 2.50 3 103 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 35.0 cm away. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earths gravitational field? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction of the deflection on the screen caused by the vertical component of the Earths magnetic field, taken as 20.0 mT down? (e) Does an electron in this vertical magnetic field move as a projectile, with constant vector acceleration perpendicular to a constant northward component of velocity? (f) Is it a good approximation to assume it has this projectile motion? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
