A depiction of a famous scientific experiment is given. Consider how the beam changes when the magnet is off compared to when the magnet is on. A bell-shaped evacuated glass tube with a narrow end and a wide end is connected to a battery at the narrow end. In the center of the tube there is a negatively charged plate above the tube, a positively charged plate below the tube, and a magnet with the field turned off. A beam originating at the narrow end of the tube travels toward the wide end of the tube. With the magnetic field turned off, the beam path bends toward the positively charged plate and ends at the lower half of the wide end of the tube. A bell-shaped evacuated glass tube with a narrow end and a wide end is connected to a battery at the narrow end. In the center of the tube there is a negatively charged plate above the tube, a positively charged plate below the tube, and a magnet with the field turned n. A beam originating at the narrow end of the tube travels toward the wide end of the tube. With the magnetic field turned on, the beam path travels in a straight path to the center of the wide end of the tube. What type of beam was used in this experiment?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

           [tex]F_{e} = F_{m}[/tex]

           q E = qv B

           v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B
