Magnetic Fields I: $e/m$ of electrons
Common area
Magnets (can be used to divert the beam if there is a dead spot on the CRT screen)
“Exposed” CRT, if available (can be used to show the inside workings, especially the deflection plates)
Extra spare parts, especially the following:
Multimeters
500 V power supplies
50 V/2 A power supplies
CRT
Fuse repair kit, including the following:
Extra batteries (AAA)
Extra fuses (500 mA or 630 mA)
Philips screwdriver (medium-size)
Flathead screwdriver (small-size)
Also, set up one $e/m$ “demo” using the old setup.
Wire the demo and leave connected between labs.
The accelerator voltage can be supplied by only the B+ (0-400 V) supply and needs to be connected via “com” and “+” jacks.
Set the battery eliminator voltage limit (bottom knob) to be between 6 and 9 V, and use the current adjust(upper knob) to change the current to the coils.
Tube takes 30-60 seconds to warm up when first turned on.
Individual station
CRT
C-clamp
500 V power supply
50 V/2 A power supply

On the 50 V/2A power supplies…
Check the multimeters to make sure there aren't blown 500 mA fuses.
