Physics LAB REPORT

#8

Electron deflection

Lab #8

Title : Electromagntism
INTRODUCTION

This lab is will be done by using the "0 physics charged particle in a magnetic field
"simulation

Aim : To observe how the radius of deflection of an electron in a perpendicular magnetic

field is dependent on

a) The speed of the electron

b) The field strength of the field

MATERIALS

This is virtual lab as powered by O physics simulations

PROCEDURE

Set the mass and charge to the standard values for an electron and press the tick
box to show radius.

Set the magnetic field strength to 5 T(Teslas ) and the velocity to

510000000m/s and press start to observe the radius pattern and radius.

Repeat this procedure for 5 other values including max speed noting the radius every
time . Screen shoot the trace and print

Next set the velocity to 7.5m/s and adjust the Field strength to 1.5Tesla and press start
observing the radius and the trace.

Repeat for 5 consecutive values of Field strength across it's range.

Screen shot and print for lab report evidence.

Discuss descriptivly how the changes radius occurred with each adjustment.
