EXPERIMENTS WITH ELECTRON TUBES

•  Investigate the deflection of an electron beam by a magnetic field. •  Investigate the deflection of an electron beam by an electric field. •  Construct a velocity filter using orthogonal electric ... more

Electrons in a fine-beam tube are deflected into a circular path by a uniform magnetic field. The tube contains neon gas at a precisely defined pressure so that gas atoms become ionised by collision with electrons along the path thus ... more

In the experiment, two identical current-carrying coils are placed outside the Braun tube, and the deflection of the electron beam in the magnetic fields of the coils is observed on the tube’s fluorescent screen as shifts of the ... more
