00002: power supply

Step Step description Expected result Result
Precondition System is Off    
Switch On the system turn on the power supply (P1) Get continuous power (6 V) positive
Switch Off the system turn Off the power supply (P1) Continuous power stops positive
Postcondition System is Off    

 

 

00003: Get electrons

Step Step description Expected Result Result
Precondition System is Off    
Switch On the pump turn On the pump 95% vacuum positive
Switch on the power supply Turn on the power supply Get continuous power (6 V) positive
Burning the Tungsten (or use a electron Gun) Burn the Tungsten by supplying it with 6 V power

Get electrons around the Tungsten ( the lamp will light)

positive (the lamp turned on)
Switch Off the power supply turn Off the power supply the lamp will turn Off positive (the lamp turned off)
Switch Off the pump turn Off the pump the pump stops pulling out the air positive
Postcondition System is Off    

 

00004:High voltage

Step Step description Expected Result Result
Precondition System is Off    
Switch On the system Turn On the HV  Get continuous power ( between 5 Kv and 60 Kv ) positive
Switch Off the system Turn Off the HV  Continuous power stops positive
Postcondition System is Off    

 

 

 

00005: Acceleration of electrons

Step Step description Expected Result Result
Precondition System is Off    
Switch on the pump Turn on the pump 95% vacuum positive
Switch On the power supply turn On the power supply Get continuous power (6 V) positive
Switch On the High Voltage Turn on the HV power supply Get continuous power ( between 5 Kv and 60 Kv ) positive
electrons acceleration Connecting the high voltage to the anode and the cathode (while controlling the change of force until we see the passage of electrons and their acceleration) Electrons leaving the anode accelerate towards the cathode and collide with it negative
Switch Off the HV Turn Off The HV power supply Electrons acceleration Stop negative (no electrons yet)
Switch Off the power supply turn Off the power supply the lamp will turn Off positive
Switch Off the pump turn Off the pump the pump stops pulling out the air positive
Postcondition System is Off    

 

Analysis of the test results:

In this test, we used neon lamp with its tungsten as anode.

when we supplied the lamp with 6 v, it lit up and there was no problem ( lit up   ---->   that means we should get electrons)

But the problem was when the anode was connected to a high voltage, the lamp burned out due to the thinness of the tungsten filament.

 

What we have to do:

We should use a lamp as its tungsten has a thicker filament to withstand the higher voltage.
