Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of magnetic field strength on electron beam deflection in vacuum in Kenya.
Materials and Methods: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study indicate that an electron beam, when subjected to a magnetic field, experiences a force perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of the electron's velocity. This force, known as the Lorentz force, causes the electron beam to deflect from its original path. The extent of this deflection is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. As the magnetic field strength increases, the radius of the electron's circular path decreases, leading to a greater deflection angle. This relationship is mathematically described by the equation r=mvqBr=qBmv"‹, where rr is the radius of the electron's path, mm is the electron's mass, vv is its velocity, qq is its charge, and BB is the magnetic field strength. Experimental results confirm that higher magnetic field strengths result in more pronounced deflections, which is a crucial concept utilized in devices such as cathode ray tubes and electron microscopes, where precise control over electron trajectories is essential.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Lorentz force law, Maxwell's equations and quantum electrodynamics may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of magnetic field strength on electron beam deflection in vacuum in Kenya. Apply findings from current research to enhance beam targeting systems in medical and industrial applications. Develop and standardize protocols for the calibration and maintenance of equipment used in electron beam deflection
