Description

In the experiment P3.8.5.2, a velocity filter (Wien filter) is constructed using crossed electrical and magnetic fields. Among other things, this configuration permits a more precise determination of the specific electron charge. At a fixed anode voltage U_A, the current I of the Helmholtz coils and the deflection voltage U_P are set so that the effects of the electric field and the magnetic field just compensate each other. The path of the beam is then virtually linear, and we can say:
