Features
Complete apparatus
Compact, stable, and affordable
Demonstrates electron motion in electromagnetic field
Measures e/m and geomagnetic component
Introduction
This LEAI-47 experiment apparatus is designed to determine the specific charge of an electron, or the electron charge/mass ratio (e/m), to demonstrate the motion properties of electron beam in electrical and magnetic fields, and to measure the geomagnetic component. It is an ideal teaching apparatus for physics laboratories in colleges and universities. This apparatus has the following advantages:
1. Three digital voltmeters for displaying various voltages independently.
2. All parts enclosed in a solid suitcase for convenient maintenance.
3. Three times of electron beam focusing, namely electron spiral motion ≥ 6π.
Using this apparatus, the following experiments can be performed:
1. Quantitatively measure the rules of electron movement in both electric and magnetic field.
a) Electrical deflection: electron + transversal electric field
b) Electrical focusing: electron + longitudinal electric field
c) Magnetic deflection: electron + transversal magnetic field
d) Spiral motion magnetic focusing: electron + longitudinal magnetic field
2. Determine e/m ratio of an electron and verify the polar coordinate equation of electron spiral motion.
3. Measure geomagnetic component.
