Hello,
I have a question about electron guns. I have read a lot, and all designs use high NEGATIVE voltage (-1000v for example). Is possible to use high POSITIVE voltage like this drawing?. Or do you think it will not work this way?
Considering that all the chamber walls are at ground voltage...
As we see in this Phet simulator, this is only the real part of the wave function, the frequency decreases with the potential, so lose energy as moves away the center.

during physics, I was chatting to a friend, and the conversation reached this question ,I know it is a series of probabilities, but how do we know for certain that it an individual particle, how do we know it is not just a field of energy? (Tell me if I sound stupid)

Hello,
Context is Inverse Compton Scattering with an pulsed electron beam interacting with a pulsed laser.
A laser has a Raleigh length of Z_r = w_o^2 * pi / lambda
w_o is the the radius of the spot size, lambda is the laser frequency.
I want to match this spot size to a pulsed electron bunch...

I've been thinking about this problem for some time now and think that I need to find E to solve for σ, but I have no idea how to go about that. How do I approach this problem?
Why there is not voltage or current just for 1ms if I connect a multimeter ground to the negative terminal of a DC power supply or charged capacitor? Why electrons in measure lead and DMM device cannot sense a bulk of electrons (or lack of it)? I tried with an 5kV DC power supply too. In an...
I connected a PVC insulated alligator clip test lead to a 12V (give 20V) DC power supply positive terminal and a multimeter. After that I connected an other one to the multimeter ground, and a third one to the power supply negative terminal. I turned the multimeter to DC V measure mode.
When I...
I figured that we would simply add up the forces acting on the electron (the electric force Fe and the magnetic force Fb) and then equate this to the given acceleration multiplied by the mass of the electron like so.
vector Fe + vector Fb = (mass of electron) (vector acceleration)
since vector...
There are two kind of electron configuration as I read so far.
There are one such as spdf and other such as, for example, 2 8 8 2.
What is the name of these electron configurations?
What is the difference?
My Textbook says this is the formula to find energy values for electron shells:
$$E_{mol of electrons} = \frac{-1312kJ}{n^2}$$
where $n$ is in electron shell number
But when we divide by 1 mol to get the energy value for each electron we get
$$E_{electron} = \frac{-2.178 \cdot 10^{-18}}{n^2}...
1) I know that the binding energy is the energy that holds a nucleus together ( which equals to the mass defect E = mc2 ). But what does it mean when we are talking about binding energy of an electron ( eg. binding energy = -Z2R/n2 ? ). Some website saying that " binding energy = - ionization...
So my thought process is as follows, since the initial centripetal force and the second magnetic force are working together, we can set up an equation to calculating final frequency.
However, I am struggling with how this can be done given so little numbers.
mvi^2/r + qvB = mv^2/r
Am I on the...
A free electron, or any other quantum particle, has an uncertain position/momentum, according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The squared amplitude of the wavefunction determines the probability of finding the electron at any point of the space. Accordingly, atomic orbitals are attributed...

My concern is an electron tube.

I'm trying to understand electron spin. I understand that if you try to explain the intrinsic angular momentum of an electron, you end up with the surface spinning several times the speed of light.

My understanding of the QFT model of a free electron is that there is a localized higher energy level in the electron matter field which couples to the EM field in two ways: (1) the coupling allows the electron matter field to 'feel' a force from an outside EM field and accelerate in response...
