Re: Experimental verification of the relativity theory

not certain I understand your question.   I assume an increase in mass will require
a greater B to deflect the electrons vertically (up and down WRT the kinescope face
plate) and horiz. (right and left).   Anyone know why after a few years
electrostatic deflection was replaced by magnetic in TV sets.  (I've only seen one
that used electrostatic (deflection plates) deflection.  It also had a full 13
channels! (included channel one).

bc,  to lazy to calc. the respective voltage and currents to achieve the same
deflection.
