Crookes Cathode Ray Tube & Magnet

Kool !

Something i always wonder. Now i know that something bad happens but what Exactly would happen if you break the glass while that is operating?

[JewTown13]

@goodnight4u the electron beam would disappear. it needs to be in an evacuated chamber to work properly.

[davideoking101]

@JewTown13 what would happen if you put the (+) side of the magnet inside of the cathode ray tube?

[trailkeeper]

These tubes were probably directly responsible for the vacuum tube amplifiers, tv camera and receiver tv set / display, x-ray's for hospitals, etc. Crooke deserves lots of credit.

[GNVVisalright]

the beam is deflected by the magnetic field. Crooke rules!

[canibuswp]

so are those electrons traveling through a tube? if so, why are they traveling and then bending?

[awfargit]

experiment with the same tube around the magnet / voice coil of a speaker playing lots of bass.......

[skuitarman]

were can you buy a crookes tube

Well, it reminds me how light functions in a vacuum when subjected to a magnetic field.

[elzosmid]

reminds me of a movie where this dude has a fluorescent condom :)

[agentbong138]

Oh really? Cause that's not an accurate representation of how light reacts to magnetic fields in a vacuum. Smart guy.

[elzosmid]

HUH?

[44R0Ndin]

i belive that agent bong meant smart-ass,

cause you certiainly represent a member of the latter class

[elzosmid]

HUH?
