Charged to mass ratio of electron |
|
Answer» Charge to mass ratio of electron In 1897 J. J. Thompson discovered the first "elementary particle", the electron, by measuring the ratio of its charge to mass in a manner similar to the experiment that we will perform. Given the mass and charge we expect to measure a value that is close to: The charge to mass ratio of the electron is given by e/m = 1.758820 × 1011 C/kg Where, m = mass of an electron in kg = 9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms. e = magnitude of the charge of an electron in coulombs = 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. |
