Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.9P
(a)
To determine
What is the velocity of an electron midway between the electrodes and at the instant of striking the plate, if the electrons are emitted from the cathode with zero velocity if a diode vacuum tube consists of a cathode and an anode spaced 5-mm apart, if 300 V are applied across the plates?
(b)
To determine
What is the average force exerted on the anode if the plate current is 20 mA?

In a cathode-ray tube (CRT), an electron travels in a vacuum and enters a region between two "deflection" plates which have equal and opposite charges. The dimensions of each plate are L = 12 cm by d = 5 cm, and the gap between them is h = 2.5 mm. (Note: the diagram is not drawn to scale and the direction of the electric field may not be correct, depending on your randomization.)
During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron ΔP is < 0, 9.60e-17, 0 > kg m/s.What is the electric field between the plates?
