Two long concetric cylindrical conductors of radii a and b `(b lt a)` are maintained at a potential difference V and carry equal and opposite currents l. Show that an electron with a particular velocity u parallel to the axis may travel underivated in the evacuated region between the conductors, and calculate u when a = 50 mm, b = 2.0 mm, V = 50 V and l = 100 A. It is also possible for the electron to travel in a helical path. By regarding such a path as the combination of a circular motion perpendicular to the axis with a steady velocity parallel to the axis, indicate without detailed mathematics how this comes about. |
Answer» For the electron to go undeviated `u = (2pi V)/(mu_(0)l In ((a)/(b)))` | |
