| 10.1.13. <b>a.</b> A vacuum device consists of a coaxial cylinder of radius $R$ and a wire placed in a longitudinal magnetic field of induction $B$. When the wire is heated, electrons with kinetic energy $K$ are emitted from its surface; in this case, a current $I$ flows in the external circuit between the cylinder and the wire. Draw the dependence of $I$ on $B$. Find the values of $B$ at which the current in vacuum is zero. | |||

| <b>a.</b> We neglect the transverse dimension of the wire. We will assume that electrons are emitted from the wire radially and their velocities $v$ are strictly perpendicular to the field lines.

| From the definition of kinetic energy: | |||
