Problem

In an electron beam of circular cross-section with an initial radius r = 3 cm, the electron velocity v = 108 m / s at the total current in the beam I = 100 A. Estimate the initial electric field strength on the beam surface and the distance at which the beam radius will double under the action of its own electric field.
