About This Product
The phosphor-coated side of the mica screen gives a clear fluorescent trace where the electron beam strikes it, so its path can be followed. Simple electrostatic and magnetic deflection can be shown, along with the relationship between plate potentials or coil currents and the degree of deflection. Operation needs a universal stand, an EHT power supply with 4 EHT experiment leads, a bench power supply for the filament, 4 mm leads, Helmholtz coils and a college power supply unit for the coils. Besides buyers across India, the Teltron Tube - Deflection can be exported to institutions in Tanzania, Rwanda, Bhutan, Lebanon, Burundi and Turkey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can the tube be used for a specific charge electron experiment?
Yes. By adjusting the electric field so that it cancels the magnetic deflection, the specific charge e/m and the velocity of the electrons can be determined.
