(Electron Ballistics)

Q1. State the assumptions made while analyzing the motion of an electron in electric field.
Q2. Derive the expressions for acceleration, velocity and displacement of a charged particle placed in an
electric field E. Discuss the motion of electron in perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.

To discuss the motion of electron in perpendicular fields (E and B).


Q3. Show that the path of electron in perpendicular electric and magnetic fields is cycloid in nature.

Q4. Two parallel plates are kept a distance of 1 cm apart. One plate is 600 volts positive w.r.t. other. An
electron starts from the rest from the negative plate. Find the distance travelled by the electron when
it has acquired a speed of 5 x 106 m/s. At this instant the potential across the plates is suddenly
removed. Find the total time of travel of the electron from the negative plate to positive plate.

Q5. An electron moving with a velocity of 107 m/s. enters a uniform magnetic field at an angle of 30° with
it. Calculate the magnetic flux density required in order that the radius of helical path is 2 m. Also
calculate the time taken by the electron for one revolution and the pitch of the helix.
Q6. A charged particle having charge 4 times that of an electron and mass 3 times that an electron is
accelerated through a potential difference of 60 V before it enters a uniform magnetic field of flux
density 0.25 Wb/m2 at an angle of 30o with the field. Find the velocity of the charged particle before
entering the field, time of one revolution and radius of helical path.
Q7. Electrons are projected into the region of constant electric field intensity (E), 5500 V/m. The electron
gun makes an angle of 37o will: horizontal. It projects the electrons with energy of 120 eV. Find the time
‘t’ takes an electron leaving the gun to pass through a hole H at a horizontal distance of 3.5 cm from the
position of gun and also find the distance d in order that the particles emerge through the hole H.
