A uniform magnetic field B exist in a region. An electron projected perpendicular to the field goes in a circle.

An electron gun with its collector at a potential of 100 V fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure $(\sim 10^{–2}$ mm of Hg$)$. A magnetic field of $2.83 \times 10^{–4}$ T curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius 12.0 cm. (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons, and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the ‘fine beam tube’ method.)
