Beta Particles <b>Aim:</b> I will investigate how the field strength varies the deflection of Beta Particles. <b>Preliminary Work</b> I started my preliminary work because, when I started my measurements using 2 coils used in experiments to deflect electrons from and electron gun. While testing for the deflection of beta particles, I found that beta radiation was scattered in a very large cone, I can not get any readings with amount of beta …showed first 75 words of 2375 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2375 total…agnetic coils do not contain the beta particles like the electric plates. I would have to use a different detector set-up. The detector I would like to use, if I had more resources available, would be a radioactive sensitive film, because I would see the overall deflection of particles from the experiment and see repulsion force from the negative plate. Also I would be able to measure the distance and ant the deflection more accurately.
