Transcription: The adapter also sends signals to a mechanism in the neck of the CRT that focuses and aims the electron beams. The mechanism, a magnetic deflection yoke, uses electromagnetic fields to bend the path of the electron streams. The signals sent to the yoke help determine the monitor's resolution, the number of pixels displayed horizontally and vertically, and the monitor's refresh rate, which is how frequently the screen's image is redrawn.
