How many volts does a cathode ray tube emits?

AI Thread Summary
A cathode ray tube (CRT) accelerates electrons to about 10 keV of energy, which corresponds to a potential difference of approximately 10 kV. The tube emits visible light when electrons collide with the pixels. Additionally, the emission of X-rays from the CRT is minimal and complies with international safety standards. It is important to note that volts represent the force driving the electrons rather than something emitted. Understanding these principles is crucial for grasping the operation of cathode ray tubes.

I don't know a lot about classical physics but I was wondering how many volts a cathode ray tube emits?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
A cathode ray tube accelerates a beam of electrons which can get about 10 keV of energy, that is the difference of potential is about 10 kV, obtained transforming the alimentation voltage.
The tube emits visible light colliding electrons of the pixels.
The emission of x rays, due to the bremsstrahlung radiation, of the last monitor was very reduced in respect to international directives.
 
Volts are nothing to be emited, but they are the moving force of electrons just like gravity

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
