How would I calculate the minimum and maximum wavelength of the Bremsstrahlung released by an electron as it goes through a magnetic field?
Say, I have an electron gun and ground below it (with a potential difference of U) and two coils side by side between them producing a relatively homogenous magnetic field B. If I shoot an electron ...

What is electron precipitation?
I'm completing a dissertation project and the only source which explains what electron precipitation actually is is linked here, from the wikipedia sources. However, when investigating the sources ...

The motion of an electron accelerating in a uniform magnetic field
As far as I know, when electrons travel perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, the Lorentz force makes the electron undergo circular motion. As this electron undergoes circular motion, it emits EM ...

Electron interaction with the field vs. wave
We often hear that the electromagnetic wave "consists" of real photons while the electromagnetic field "consists" of virtual photons. Granted "virtual" means these particles don't exist other than as ...

Is there scientific work about the inner structure of the electron and its magnetic and electric fields?
Since the electron posseses permanently an electric and a magnetic field to search for a model of the constituents of this inner structure and the two fields should be good scientific area of research....

What is the formula for the wavelength of radiation produced by non-relativistic electrons travelling through an undulator?
Is it simply equal to the length of the undulator periods? Or does it depend on the electrons' velocity and the strength of the magnetic field? Thanks.
