The acceleration voltage of an Electron Gun is Va = 500 V and the distance between Kathode and Anode is d = 5cm. Non-relativistic calculation can be used. Calculate how fast the electrons are moving when they pass the anode. Find the work done by the electric field on an electron. What time does the electron take to get from the hot cathode to the anode? Now the acceleration voltage changes and electrons are passing the anode with a speed of v=2,054⋅107ms.
