11.20 (a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76 * 1011 C kg–1.
(b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for a collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong ? In what way is the formula to be modified?

11.20 Potential difference across evacuated tube, V = 500 V
Specific charge of electron, e/m = 1.76 C/kg
The speed of each emitted electron is given by the relation of kinetic energy as
= =
= = = 13.27 m/s
Therefore, the speed of each emitted electron is 13.27 m/s
Collector potential, V = 10 MV =

Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25
