Electron released from the cathode CRT is accelerated to the anode by accelerating potential of 2kV in time 0.25 microseconds. Taking the mass of the electron m = 9.1 x 10^-31kg and electron charge e = 1.6 x 10^-19C .Determine:

-

 (I) Velocity of the electrons

Soln

Velocity of electrons V = {√(2eEa)/(m)}

     = {√ (2 x 1.6 x10^-19 x 2000)/(9.1 x 10-31)}

      = 26519741.77 m/s

(II) Acceleration of the electron

Soln

  Acceleration = change in velocity/time

                = (26519741.77 - 0)/(0.26x 10-6)

                 = 1.01999 x 10^14 m/s^2

(III) Loss in potential energy

    Loss in potential energy P.E = eEa

               = (1.6 x10^-19) x ( 2000)

                = 3.2 x 10^-16 Joules

(III) Gain in Kinetic energy

      K.E = 1/2(m x V^2)

     = 1/2( 9.1 x 10^-31 x 26519741.77^2)

      = 3.2 x 10^-16 Joules

Explain avalanche breakdown with respect to PN junctions.

-
 Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon which occurs in lightly doped junctions which occur when a high reverse voltage is applied across the junction which tend to cause an increase in electric field across the junction. This generated electric field exerts a force on the electrons at junction and frees them from the covalent bonds. These free electrons will gain acceleration and it will start moving across the junction with high velocity. This results in collosion with neighbouring atoms. These collisions in high velocity tend to generate more free electrons. These free electrons will start drifting and electrons -hole pairs recombination occurs across the junction which results in a rapid increase in current uncontrollably. <a href="https://kol.jumia.com/api/click/link/f0647e0d-9d90-4183-b025-e2cf08db8f34/42461daf-6d6a-4cf2-b0ca-7e066511e571"><img src="https://kol.jumia.com/banners/OK6RTn7jyXBJ8ORsrvFNC6o0L8wUYB5zNJOYzNEI.jpg" alt="PHONES CATEGORY"
