Ideas to Implementation.

Cathode Ray tubes allow a manipulation of a stream of charged particles *CRT - consist of evacuated glass tube containing two electrodes *High voltage is applied across electrodes - stream of negatively charged particles from cathode to anode *Structures built around the cathode (e.g. electric plates and magnetic coils) can be used to manipulate CR Charge particles produce an electric field *Electric field exists in any region that an electrically charged object experiences a …showed first 75 words of 2659 total…
