The electron gun in an old CRT television accelerates electrons between two charged parallel plates (the cathode is negative; the anode is positive) 1.2 cm apart. The potential difference between them is 25 kV. Electrons enter through a small hole in the cathode, are accelerated, and then exit through a small hole in the anode. Assume the plates act as a capacitor. a. What is the electric field strength and direction between the plates?
b. With what speed does an electron exit the electron gun if its entry speed is close to zero? [Note: ignore relativity]
c. If the capacitance of the plates is 1 nF, how much charge is stored on each plate? How many extra electrons does the cathode have?
d. If you wanted to push an electron from the anode to the cathode, how much work would you have to do?

A. 2.083 MV/m from anode to cathode.

B. 93648278.15 m/s

C. 2.5x10^-5 C and there are about 1.56x10^14 electrons

D. 4x10^-15 Joules

Explanation:

Voltage V across plate is 25 kV = 25x10^3 V

Distance apart x = 1.2 cm = 1.2x10^-2 m

A. Electric field strength is the potential difference per unit distance

E = V/x = 25x10^3/1.2x10^-2 = 2083333.3 V/m

= 2.083 MV/m

B. Energy of electron is electron charge times the voltage across

i.e eV

Charge on electron = 1.6x10^-19 C

Energy of electron = 1.6x10^-19 x 25x10^3 = 4x10^-15 Joules

Mass of electron m is 9.12x10^-31 kg

Kinetic energy of electron = 0.5mv^2

Where v is the speed

4x10^-15 = 0.5 x 9.12x10^-31 x v^2

v^2 = 8.77x10^15

v = 93648278.15 m/s

C. From Q = CV

Q = charge

C = capacitance = 1 nF 1x10^-9 F

V = voltage = 25x10^3 V

Q = 1x10^-9 x 25x10^3 = 2.5x10^-5 C

Total number of electrons = Q/e

= 2.5x10^-5/1.6x10^-19 = 1.56x10^14 electrons

D. To push electron from cathode to anode, I'll have to do a work of about

4x10^-15 Joules

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
