Calculate the specific charges (e/m) of the following particles and then arrange the particles in the asceding order of their specific charges. (a) Electron (b) Proton (c) alpha-particle.

Answer»

Solution :Specific charge of an electron `=(1.6xx10^-19)/(9.1xx10^-31) " COULOMB//kg"`
`=0.176xx10^12=17.6xx10^10 " coulomb /kg"`
Specific charge of a proton `=(1.6xx10^(-19))/(1.67xx10^(-27))"coulomb /kg" = 0.96xx10^8 "coulomb/kg"`
Specific charge of `alpha`-particle `=(2xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(2XX10^(-27)(1.67+1.72))=(1-6xx10^8)/(3.39)=0.472xx10^8 "coulomb/kg"`
Hence, ASCENDING order of specific charges of electron, proton and `alpha`-particles is `alpha-"particle" lt "proton" lt "electron"`.
