(a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heatedemitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintainedat a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter.Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. Thespecific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be1.76 × 1011 C kg–1. (b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speedfor an collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong ? Inwhat way is the formula to be modified? |
