IMPORTANT

Cathode rays moving with same velocity v describe an approximate circular path of radius r metre in an electric field of strength x volt metre-1. If the speed of the cathode rays is doubled to 2v, the value of electric field (in volt metre-1) needed, so that the rays describe the same approximate circular path.

An ionisation chamber, with parallel conducting plates as anode and cathodes have singly charged positive 5×107 ions per cm3. The electrons, are moving towards the anode with velocity 0.4 m s-1. The current density from anode to cathode is 4 μA m-2. The velocity of positive ions moving towards cathode is
