    Electrostatics and the cathode ray tube

    Use library and/or Internet resources to investigate the principle of the cathode ray tube. You should restrict your report to cathode ray tubes that use electrostatic deflection of the electron beam. Present your findings in the form of a written report of not more than 1,000 words and include a labelled sectional diagram of a cathode ray tube showing the electrode assembly and typical electric potentials.
