You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in Figure P22.28. The plates are of length = 0.500 m and are separated by a distance d = 3.00 cm. Electrons are fired at vi = 5.00 106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward. You need to determine (a) the range of angles over which the electron can leave the apparatus and (b) the electric field required to give the maximum possible deviation angle. Figure P22.28
In different experimental trials, an electron, a proton, or a doubly charged oxygen atom (O--), is fired within a vacuum tube. The particle's trajectory carries it through a point where the electric potential is 40.0 V and then through a point at a different potential.

A GeigerMueller tube is a radiation detector that consists of a closed, hollow, metal cylinder (the cathode) of inner radius ra and a coaxial cylindrical wire (the anode) of radius rb (Fig. P24.42a). The charge per unit length on the anode is , and the charge per unit length on the cathode is . A gas fills the space between the electrodes. When the tube is in use (for example, in measuring radioactivity from fruit in Fig. P24.42b) and a high-energy elementary particle passes through this space, it can ionize an atom of the gas. The strong electric field makes the resulting ion and electron accelerate in opposite directions. They strike other molecules of the gas to ionize them, producing an avalanche of electrical discharge. The pulse of electric current between the wire and the cylinder is counted by an external circuit. (a) Show that the magnitude of the electric potential difference between the wire and the cylinder is V2keln(rarb) (b) Show that the magnitude of the electric field in the space between cathode and anode is E=Vln(ra/rb)(1r) where r is the distance from the axis of the anode to the point where the field is to be calculated.
