Question

Problem 13

Answer 1

Given information

It is given that when a strong magnet is held near the CRT television screen it results into the picture to become distorted or few time even show a complete black screen.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The path of electrons traveling from the electron gun to the screen within the television is distorted by a magnet, which distorts the image. A magnet distorts the velocity of electrons since they are negatively charged particles. A Cathode Ray Tube, often known as a CRT, creates the image on an old television. It paints the picture with an electron beam deflected by magnets. When an electron moves through a magnetic field in a vacuum, the field bends the electron's path.
