(which way did it shift) Moved to the right. 4. Turn off the magnetic field, and turn on the voltage of the electric field to 10V. What happens to the spot from the electon gun? (which way did it shift) Moved to the left. In an electric field, the displacement of the electrons is related to their charge, mass, and velocity. The purpose of the Thomson experiment is to calculate the mass to charge ratio of the electron. The displacement of the electrons can be observed in this experiment, and the velocity can be calculated from the electric and magnetic fields. The forces produced by the electric and magnetic fields are qE and q V x B, respectively (where q is the charge of the electron, V is its velocity, E is the electric field, and B is the magnetic field). If the electric and magnetic forces are equal, then the velocity of the electron can be calculated from E and B (V=E/B). What two fundamental properties of the electron does its displacement depend on? Mass and Velocity
Where should the signal on the phosphor screen be if the electric and magnetic forces are balanced? In the dead
