// To find minimum distance // Modern Electronic Instrumentation And Measurement Techniques // By Albert D. Helfrick, William D. Cooper // First Edition Second Impression, 2009 // Dorling Kindersly Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 7-1 in Page 184 clear; clc; close; // Given data D = 4*10^-2; //Deflection on the screen in m G = 100*100; // Deflection factor in V/m E_a = 2000; //Accelarating potential in V //Calculations // wkt. L = 2*d*E_a/(G*I_d) //Also L/D = I_d / d //Therefore L = sqrt(2*D*E_a/G); printf("The distance from the deflection plates to the oscilloscope tube screen = %0.3f m",L); //Result // The distance from the deflection plates to the oscilloscope tube screen = 0.126 m
