Photoelectric effect experiment

[tonyza2006]

Hi there,

I have this problem with this photoelectric effect experiment.

In the image of my attachment particulates will be ejected from C and move to D. The electric field(by A and B) will change the particulates trajectory to A, B or will not change this?

Thanks
Tony

PS: Sorry about my english.

Hi Tony!

(btw, we call them "particles" … "particulate" is usually an adjective )

the particles are negatively-charged electrons, so which way will they go?

the negatively charged photoelectrons will move towards the positively charged plate A as unlike charges attract each other.

I have a sneaking suspicion that cathode ray tubes are built with the deflection plates inside the glass for a good reason. What do you think?
