    redball.gif (326 bytes) Horseshoe Magnet



NARRATIVE
        An electron beam is deflected by a magnetic field.

        Adjust the small Tesla coil generator so that a clear beam is evident in the cathode ray tube. Bring the horseshoe magnet near the tube to deflect the beam. Rotate the magnet to change the direction of deflection.
