Chapter 4, Problem 3P
A mystery particle enters the region between the plates of a Thomson apparatus as shown in Figure 4.6. The deflection angle θ is measured to be 0.20 radians (downwards) for this particle when V = 2000 V, ℓ = 10.0 cm, and d = 2.00 cm. If a perpendicular magnetic field of magnitude 4.57 × 10−2 T is applied simultaneously with the electric field, the particle passes through the plates without deflection. (a) Find q/m for this particle. (b) Identify the particle. (c) Find the horizontal speed with which the particle entered the plates. (d) Must we use relativistic mechanics for this particle?

Cathode rays are accelerated by a P.D. of 2000 volt and enter the plates of a Thomson tube as a
collimated beam. The P.D. between the plates is 800 volt and the plates are separated by a

magnetic field that must be applied perpendicular to the beam over the electrical field so that

- Electrons enter a magnetic field traveling at v, = vỹ. The constant, uniform magnetic field B = 0.75 2 T acts as a filter curving the electrons to a small gap that only allows specific electron energies. The source of electrons enters the filter as a beam that is 15 micrometers in diameter and have a range of energies from 5-25 meV. The filter redirects the beam, as pictured, to the right v = và but does not speed them up. If the filter is to further narrow the range of energies from 5-25 meV to 10-12 meV, find the dimensions of the gap. In the picture, calculate ymin and ymer, both of which can be assumed to be equal to the radius of the paths taken within the magnetic field. %3D The beam being focused to 15 um at the start can be assumed to be a point source and take circular paths within the magnetic field.
