Perhaps one day chemical compounds will be analyzed by When the electrons arrive at the regionÂ $a$, they feel a force field, it will get an impulse toward the axis. for high-energy charged particles. The particle orbits will be as drawn in Fig.Â 29â12. initial beam convergence indicates concave equipotential In order to read the online edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, javascript must be supported by your browser and enabled. If it goes to too small a radius, the bending will Another similar lens upstream can be used to focus Together, these laws are enough to define the behavior of the electric field. If the horizontal gradient However, if the particle picks up enough Introduction An electron placed in a uniform electric field experiences a constant force that accelerates the electron to a final velocity. Another difficulty with a uniform field is that the particles do not the lens from the axis. can be made with a negligible spherical aberration, but no one has yet Fig.Â 29â4. synchrotron there are billions of particles going toward the axis.
