In a given crt, electrons are accelerated horizontally by 7.0kv . they then pass through a uniform electric field e for a distance of 2.4cm , which deflects them upward so they travel 24cm to the top of the screen, 10cm above the center. Estimate the value of E. Neglect the upward distance that electron moves while in the electric field.

Given that,

Potential energy  = 7.0 kV

Distance = 2.4 cm

Initial horizontal velocity covered 24cm down and new velocity covered 10 cm up.

The final velocity is

The kinetic energy of electron is

Using conservation of energy

When an electron passing through field E experience force F produces change in momentum.

Initial vertical momentum is zero.

We need to calculate the value of E

Using formula of momentum

Where,F = change in potential energy

Put the value into the formula

Hence, the value of E  is

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng
