Question:

This diagram shows an electron tube. Electrons moving from the cathode to the anode constitute a current. The current in the ammeter is 4.5 mA.

a. Calculate the charge passing through the ammeter in 3 minutes.
b. Calculate the number of electrons that hit the anode in 3 minutes.
c. The potential difference between the cathode and the anode is 75 V.
Calculate the energy gained by an electron as it travels from the cathode to the anode.
