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 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
