1. n an x-ray tube, electrons are accelerated in a uniform electric field and then strike a metal target. Suppose an electron starting from rest is accelerated in a uniform electric field directed horizontally and having a magnitude of 2900 N/C. The electric field covers a region of space 12.5 cm wide.

A. What is the speed of the electron when it strikes the target?

B. How far does it fall under the influence of gravity during its flight?

A) find force due to electric field using charge of an electron.

Find the acceleration using mass of an electron

Use the given distance to find the final speed

B) We need the time in flight:

Now find the distance fell due to gravity:

It fell 2.42*10^-15m

The electrons in a cathode ray tube are emitted by a hot filament cathode and are accelerated by an electric field applied between the cathode and two orthogonal pairs of parallel plate electrodes. The beam passes through the gap between the electrodes and can be deflected up and down, or left and right if the parallel plates are appropriately biased. As the electrons pass through the electrodes, their kinetic energy increases. Assume the electrons are emitted from the cathode with...
