cay tube (CRT)‚ we oriented a magnetic field perpendicular to the axis of the CRT’s electron beam. From previous experience‚ we decided on using Helmholtz coils to produce a reasonably uniform magnetic field. We measured the deflection of an electron‚ (our dependent‚ “response”‚ variable)‚ as a function of the magnitude of the magnetic field‚ ‚ and the electron’s velocity‚ (our independent‚ “control”‚ variables). Prediction and Procedure For this experiment‚ we used the CRT‚ a digital
