The electron gun in a television tube is used to accelerate electrons with mass 9.109 × 10−31 kg from rest to 3 × 107 m/s within a distance of 6.3 cm. Assuming the electric field is constant, what electric field is required in the tube? The fundamental charge is qe .

Answer:

Electric field, E = 40608.75 N/C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of electrons, [tex]m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg[/tex]

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electrons, [tex]v=3\times 10^7\ m/s[/tex]

Distance traveled, s = 6.3 cm = 0.063 m

Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron using third equation of motion as :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2}{2\times 0.063}[/tex]

[tex]a=7.14\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2[/tex]

Now we will find the electric field required in the tube as :

[tex]ma=qE[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{ma}{q}[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 7.14\times 10^{15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}[/tex]

E = 40608.75 N/C

So, the electric field required in the tube is 40608.75 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
