Question 8
Part I:      Candidates were required to answer any five questions from this part.
  1. What is an electron “gun”?
  2. Name one equipment in which an electron gun is an essential component.

Observation

This question was unpopular.  Almost all the candidates failed to include “narrow beam” in their definition of “electron gun” and so lost valuable marks.

The expected answers are:

(a)        An “electron gun” is a device that produces a narrow beam of high speed/velocity
            electrons.
e.g
(b)        -           Cathode ray tube
            -           X-ray tube
            -           Cathode ray oscilloscope
            [Accept any other correct equipment].
