How is Faraday's dark space created?

Faraday's dark space is created in a gas discharge tube when electrons gain enough energy to collide with gas atoms, causing them to emit light. The dark space is a region near the cathode where electrons lose energy due to collision with gas atoms, causing a decrease in electron density and subsequent decrease in light emission.


Why cathode rays are negatively charged?

Cathode rays are produced when the metal cathode has a high voltage applied to it - this has the effect of "boiling" the electrons off the cathode's surface producing cathode rays, and so cathode rays can be seen as a stream of electrons i.e. negatively charged particles.AnswerElectrons are released from the surface of a cathode through thermionic emission. This is achieved by a heaterlocated at the cathode, and not due to a high voltage. The function of the high voltage (between the cathode and an anode placed closer to the screen) is to attract these electrons towards the screen of the CRT. So a 'cathode ray' is simply a beam of electrons which, of course, are negatively charged.

How magnetic field is related with cathode rays in physics?

Cathode rays are negatively charged particles that move in curved paths in the presence of a magnetic field. The direction and curvature of the cathode rays can be controlled by adjusting the strength and orientation of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is known as the magnetic deflection of cathode rays and is used in devices like cathode ray tubes.

What is the negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube?

The negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is the cathode. The tube is a cathode ray tube, and electrons stream off the cathode, are accelerated across the evacuated space and "directed" either electromagnetically or electrostatically, and then strike the phosphor coating on the positively charged anode at a "location" determined by the "directing" elements.
