Ef-2 Bending of an Electron Beam
Aim
To demonstrate the force experienced by an electron beam in a magnetic field.
Apparatus
- Evacuated tube as shown
- Bar magnet
- Tesla coil or induction coil
Description
The apparatus consists of an evacuated tube containing an oblique fluorescent screen upon which the path of the beam is clearly visible. When a magnet is brought up to the device the electron beam is deflected. Also a High Voltage can be applied across Electrode Plates of the new model to deflect the electron beam.
