The curious case of Magnetron's surface charges!

  • We all are familiar with microwave ovens. The component inside this machine that’s responsible for producing microwaves is known as a magnetron. When high voltage is applied to the cathode of a magnetron, it ejects many electrons through thermionic emission. When the electron comes towards the anode, it repels the nearest cavity’s electrons. Due to this electron displacement, positive charges form on that surface. The displaced electrons will obviously make a surface of negative charges on the nearby cavity. Now something peculiar happens; the same charge pattern is automatically induced in all the cavities. Do you know how charges induced in just one cavity lead to induction of charges in the other cavities? Let's explore the answer in this video.

    • @ssholum
      @ssholum 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      There is a permanent magnet on the magnetron which prevents electrons boiled off of the cathode from traveling straight to the anode, but it's not strong enough to prevent conduction. So you get some cyclotron radiation, but if I understand correctly, it's mostly just to help steer the electrons around the anode, to improve the deposition of charges, which improves efficiency.
      Because it takes time to stabilize the charges within the anode (the part shown in the video), electrons from the cathode will continue to conduct to different parts of the anode, meaning the charge will never reach a stable configuration, and you'll continue to get currents traveling around the anode.
      The skin effect keeps the majority of this current at the surface of the anode.
      The round cavities have currents flowing around them, which makes those cavities act like an inductor.
      The geometry of the plates also causes a measure of capacitance, with adjacent plates having different charge, thus having an electric field between them.
      The result of this capacitive and inductive geometry is your typical LC oscillator, and it determines the operating frequency (though these circuits are quite noisy because of the inherent randomness of charge deposition). Depending on the different geometry, it could take more or less time for charges to move from one surface to the next, which will determine the frequency of the induced AC current.
      As for the radiation:
      All moving charges cause EM radiation. They are microwaves because the frequency of the alternating currents induced in the resonator is in the microwave range.
      Other geometry in the resonator (the cavities are all connected and also contained in a solid case except for a small aperture) guides the microwaves for output into a waveguide.

    i think i understand, but it would have been good to explicitly explain why the blue fields lines are now curved at 3:00. Presumably it's because the faces of the teeth/splines are now no longer parallel. Does this mean that the linear case would also establish a pattern of charges if the teeth were closer at their tips?

Or how the charge oscillates from one side of each cavity to the other. As an explanation of the operation of the magnetron it really does not go far enough.

    never defined what an electric field is. asked Gemini AI, and its explanation was indirect, and obscure. what i gather, is that, an electric field can be positive or negative. it is a bubble force-field, under Hooke's law. why not say so? - being direct is so much more efficient. do we even know what an electric field is, in a quantum sense? - because, if not, saying so, would be important too.
