What Happens When You Connect a 10,000 V Supply to a Normal Tube Light?

AI Thread Summary
Connecting a 10,000 V supply to a normal fluorescent tube light would lead to rapid self-destruction due to uncontrolled current flow. The discussion also touches on the idea of creating a cathode ray tube without using a vacuum pump, but this raises safety concerns. High-voltage electricity and vacuums are dangerous for untrained individuals, emphasizing the need for proper expertise. The thread concludes with a warning to seek assistance from trained professionals for such projects. Overall, the conversation highlights the risks associated with high-voltage experiments.

  • suppose I connect a 10,000 v supply to a normal tube light. what will happen? will it behave like a cathode ray tube or something else

So, what do you mean by "a normal tube light"?

OK. The term is "fluorescent tube". Wikipedia says: "Connected directly to a constant-voltage power supply, a fluorescent lamp would rapidly self-destruct due to the uncontrolled current flow."
 
then how to make a cathode ray tube , without using vacuum pump or tube because it will cost more,
 
What do you want the cathode ray tube for?

just to see the flow of electrons and its magnetic behaviour
 
I'm sorry but high-voltage electricity and vacuums are dangerous to those without the proper training. If you'd like to continue this project then please find someone local to work with who is properly trained. Thread locked.
