A beam of electrons whose kinetic energy is 1.9 ´ 10-16J emerges from a thin foil “window” at the end of an accelerator tube. There is a metal plate a distance d = 0.48mm from this window and at right angles to the direction of the emerging beam. a) Should the magnetic field point out or into the page?  b) What magnitude of the magnetic field will prevent the beam from hitting the plate?

Question

A beam of electrons whose kinetic energy is 1.9 ´ 10-16J emerges from a thin
foil “window” at the end of an accelerator tube. There is a metal plate a
distance d = 0.48mm from this window and at right angles to the direction of
the emerging beam.
a) Should the magnetic field point out or into the page? 
b) What magnitude of the magnetic field will prevent the beam from hitting
the plate?
