CHARGED PARTICLE:
In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. Particles either have a positive, negative or no charge (being neutral). An electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. In many physical phenomena, such as electricity, magnetism, and thermal conductivity, electrons play an essential role. An electron generates a magnetic field while moving, and it is deflected by external magnetic fields. When an electron is accelerated, it can absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons. Electrons, together with atomic nuclei made of protons and neutrons, make up atoms. Electron Charge------ 1.6x10-19 coulombs Mass------- 9.11x10-19 Kg Radius----- 10-15 meters Motion of charged particle is due to either of electric or magnetic or gravitational fields. When electron is subjected to these E or M or G fields it get acceleration and its trajectory is determined by Newtons laws provided that the force acting on the particle is known. Their are two models of electron, for large scale phenomena classical model is used and for small scale phenomena wave model is used.
In order to calculate the path of a charged particle in on electric field the force, given by equ.1, must related to the mass and the acceleration of the particle by Newtons second law of motion. Hence f q = q E = m a = m dv /dt.------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Note: f,E,a,v represents scalar quantities, f,E,a,v represents vector quantities. Where m is mass in Kgs a is acceleration in m/sec2 v is velocity in m/sec. The solution of equ.2 subject to approximate initial conditions, gives the path of the particle resulting from the action of the electric force.

The minus sign denotes that the force is in the direction opposite to the field.

If d is small compared to dimensions of plates, E.F is considered as uniform. In initial conditions, characteristics of the motion are as follows.
initial position x0 of the electron is along the X-axis. As in Y-axis f = 0, a = 0 Z-axis f = 0, a = 0 a = 0 means velocity is constant, since initial velocity along these axes is zero the particle will not move along these directions.

Figure 5: Circular motion of an e in a transverse M-field. Initial speed v0, constant M.F. Since the force fm is perpendicular to v and so to the motion at every instant, no work is done on the electron. So no increase in K.E. So no change in speed. Since v & B are constant in magnitude, then fm is constant in magnitude and perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle. So this type of force results in motion in a circular path with constant speed. To find the radius of circle, it is recalled that a particle moving in a circle path with a constant speed v, has an acceleration toward the center of the circle of magnitude v2 / R. where R is the radius of the path in meters then m v2 / R = eBv R = mv/eB The corresponding angular velocity in radians/sec is given by
w = v / R = e B / m. The time in sec for one complete revolution, called the period, is T = 2 / w= 2 m/eB For an electron T = 2 m/B It is noted that radius of the path is directly perpendicular to the speed of the particle. The period and the angular velocity are independent of speed or radius. This mean of course, that faster moving particles will traverse larger circles in the same time that a slower particle mores in its smaller circles. Ex: Cyclotron and magnetic focusing apparatus.

Attenuator: It is a potential divider ckt that attenuates the amplitude of the input signal to the required amplitude. Vertical Amplifier: To deflect the beam of the CRO, voltages, in the range of 100V are required. Generally, the input signal will be in the range of mV. Hence, the vertical amplifier amplifies the weak input signal to a level required by CRT. Gain of the amplifier should be large. Delay line: To be able to observe the complete waveform of the input signal. The horizontal of vertical deflection of the e- beam should start simultaneously.
Signal processing in horizontal amplifier system takes a finite amount of time. Such a delay doesnt occur in vertical deflection system. Hence, the signal given to the vertical input should be delayed to observe the waveform property. CRT: It is the heart of the CRO. It provides a high velocity e- beam that passes through a set of deflection plates. One set of plates is oriented to deflect the e- beam vertically when appropriate voltage is applied between them. The 2nd set of plates deflects the beam horizontally. Time base Generator: Need for time base: When we apply voltage across the vertical plates, the spot moves up and down and we can observe a vertical line. This is due to the fact that we have not provided a time axis. To provide a time axis, we have to move the spot horizontally from one end of the screen to other end at a ray proportional to the time Time Base Ckt: The simplest ckt to generate time base is a Capacitor that is charged by a constant current source. Measurement of frequency: The signal for which the frequency f is to be measured is given to the vertical input. The no. of divisions occupied by 1 complete cycle of the wave form is measured. The no. of divisions multiplied by the time base setting in sec. is equal to the time period (T) of one cycle. The frequency of wave form is inverse of the time period. T. Measurement of phase Difference: The phase difference between 2 sinusoidal signals of same frequency can be calculated from the amplitude of the 2 signals as are the amplitudes of 2 signals. To measure the phase difference of two signals, the 2 sine waves are applied simultaneously to the vertical & horizontal deflecting plate of CRO. when A&B
=0
= 150o
= 30o = 180o
= 90o
Horizontal amplifier: This amplifies the output of the time base generator. Some times, it amplifies the horizontal input signal. Trigger Ckt: It is a ckt that synchronies horizontal & vertical inputs. It makes sure that the horizontal sweep and vertical input always start at the same point on the input signal. Application of CRO: It is used to measure the voltage, current, frequency & phase difference of the given signals. Measurement of voltage: If the signal is applied to the vertical deflection plate only a vertical line appears on the screen. The height of the line is proportional to peak voltage of the applied signal. The vertical scale on the CRT screen is marked in Cms. Each centimeter is further sub-divided into 5 parts, so that each part represents 0.2cm. Measurement of current: When a current is to be measured it is passed through a known resistance and voltage across it is measured.

Figure 8: The helical path of an electron introduced at an angle (not 90o) with a constant M. Field. Velocity of origin is v0. Initial transverse velocity clue to repulsion v0x Velocity = vy + v along & transverse to the M.F Since F perpendicular B no ay = 0 as vy is constant and equal to v0y F = eBv perpendicular to path exist, resulting from transverse velocity. This force gives rise to circular motion. The radius of the circle is R = mv /eB where v = v0x. The pitch of the helix, defined as the distance traveled along the direction of the magnetic field in one revolution is given by P = v0yT T-time for one revolution = period P = 2m/eB v0y When applied M.F = 0 smudge is seen on screen different transverse velocities v0x as different points on screen at M.F. increase e- follow helix path with diff R at v0x is diff period is independent of v0x so the period will be same for all electrons. If then the distance from the anode to the screen is made equal to one pitch all the electrons will be brought back to the y axis (the point o| ) here only one spot. Critical field smallest points here distance between A & S is P at critical field increase P decrease and e- travels more than one revolution. The current rating of the solenoid is the factor that generally furnishes a practical limitation to the order of the focus. In General If the screen is perpendicular to the y axis at a distance L from the point of emergence of the electron beam from the anode, then, for an anode cathode potential equal to v a, the electron beam will come to a focus at the center of the screen provided that L is an integral multiple of P. under these conditions, we can write.
e/m = 82 Van2/L2 B2 where n is an integer representing the order of the focus. Here eVa = mv0y2 the only effect of the anode potential is to accelerate the electron along the tube axis this implies that the transverse velocity v0x, which is variable and unknown, is negligible in comparison with v0y. A short Focusing Coil: Longitudinal M.Field over the entire length of a commercial tube is not too practical. A short coil is wound around the neck of the tube. Because of the fringing of the magnetic lines of flux a radial component of B exists in addition to the component along the tube axis. Two components of force on electron. f = f (axial com of v + radial c of field) + f (axial com of field + radial c of v). The motion will be a rotation about axis of the tube and if conditions are correct, the electron on leaving the region of the coil may turn sufficiently so as to move in a line toward the center of the screen. A rough adjustment of focus is done by positioning of coil along neck. A fine adjustment of focus is done by controlling the coil current.

We assume a small angle of deflection then l/R We know R = mv/eB If MP| projected backward will pass through the center O| of the region of the M.F. then D L tan L = lL/R = lLeB/mv = lLB/(va) (e/2m) The deflection per unit M.F. intensity, D/B given by D/B = lL/(va) (e/2m) is called magnetic deflection sensitivity of the tube. MDS is independent of B. MDS 1/(va) , MDS (e/m) MDS L, magnetic coils are placed as far as down the neck of the tube as possible. Usually directly affect the accelerating anode.
Deflection in a TV tube:
If magnetic deflection coil is driven by a saw tooth current waveform, the deflection of the beam on the face of the tube will not be linear with time for such wide angle deflection tubes, special linearity correcting n/ws must be added. When the video signal is applied to the electron gun, it modulates the intensity of the beam and thus forms the TV picture.
If, initially, a component of velocity v0x perpendicular to the M.F. exists this component, together with the M.F., will give rise to circular motion, the radius of the circular path being independent of E. E v various along the field with time. The resulting path is helical with a pitch that changes with the time. i.e., the distance traveled along the y axis per revolution increase with each revolution.

We get from diagram x = Q (1- cos ), z = Q (- sin ) This path is cycloid. W Angular velocity of rotation of the rolling circle. Number of radians through which the circle has rotated Q Radius of the rolling circle. U = wQ is velocity of translation of the circle of center of the rolling circle. Max displacement of e- along x is zQ (diameter of r circle). Distance between cusps along z is 2 Q (circumference).
At each cusp v=0 since v change its direction & same V. Therefore the electron has gained no energy from the E.F. and its speed must again be zero. If an initial velocity exists that is directed parallel to the magnetic field the projection of the path on the xz plane will still be cycloid but the particle will now have a constant velocity normal to the plane. This path may be called a cycloidal helical motion is given by x = Q (1- cos ), z = Q (- sin ) and vy = v0y, y = v0yt.
