Homework Statement
In a cathodic ray tube, the canon launches a circular electron beam on the screen. The beam has a 0.22 mm diameter, the electrons have a kinetic energy of 25 keV and 5.6*10^14 electrons reach the screen each second. Find the magnetic field produced by the beam on a point located at a 1.5mm distance of the beam axis.
The answer is 12 nT
Homework Equations
I know that the magnetic field of a circular arc is
B = (u*i*angle)/(4*Pi*distance) but in this case I don't have an angle so I am pretty sure this is not the correct formula
Also we could integrate using the biot savart rule but we don't have the limits of integration.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have found the current by using the fact that 5.6*10^14 electrons reach the screen each second. By converting electrons to coulombs, I get 8.97 * 10^-5 Amperes. Then I am stuck, I have no idea how to continue
thank you
