I was just thinking about vacuums and crt tv's and a question came up. How would one go about figuring out how much charge can be fit into a vacuum of a given volume? Like if the electron gun on the tv just kept firing away and the electrons had no where to go, how much charge (electrons) could fit inside the vacuum? Like how many coulombs of charge? I know space charge has to be considered but I don't know how to calculate something like this.
It's not the same as figuring out the charge of a capacitor because they store charge on plates whereas this is inside the vacuum which is also measured in volume instead of area like the area of a plate on a capacitor.
