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.) Determine $e/m$ from the data.
