Question
Early black-and-white television sets used an electron beam to draw a picture on the screen. The electrons in the beam were accelerated by a voltage of 3.0 kV; the beam was then steered to different points on the screen by coils of wire that produced a magnetic field of up to 0.65 T .
What is the speed of electrons in the beam?

Answer:
3.25 × 10^7 m/s
Explanation:
Assuming the electrons start from rest, their final kinetic energy is equal to the electric potential energy lost while moving through the potential difference (ΔV)
Ek = 1/2 mv2 = qΔV ……………… 1
Given that V is the electron speed in m/s
Charge of electron = 1.60217662 × 10-19 coulombs
Mass of electron = 9.109×10−31 kilograms
ΔV = 3.0kV = 3000V
Make V the subject of the formula in eqaution 1
V = sqr root 2qΔV/m
V = 2 × 1.60217662 × 10-19 × 3000 / 9.109×10−31
V = 3.25 × 10^7 m/s
