The ratio of charge to mass of an electron in coulombs per gram was determined by J.J. Thomson. He determined this ratio by measuring the deflection of cathode rays in electric and magnetic fields. What value did he find for this ratio?
Charge of an electron is= −1.6 × 10−19CMass of electron is9.1 × 10−31kg = 9.1 × 10−28gThus, Charge/mass ratio is
= −1.76 × 108 coulombs /g
The number of electrons which will together weigh one gram is
Mass of electron = 9.1096 x 10-31 kg= 1.098 x 1027 electrons
How many number of electrons are present in a particle which carries a charge of 5.5 x 10-16 C?
Charge carried by one electron= 1.6022 x 10-19 CElectrons presents in 5.5 x 10-16 C
Which experiment is responsible for finding out the charge on an electron?
The value (magnitude) of electron charge was determined by Millikan's oil drop experiment.Cathode ray discharge tube experiment gave the sign of electron charge Rutherford's experiment gave the presence of electrons around the dense nucleusPhotoelectric experiment explained the production of electricity from light irradiation on the metal surface.
Match the values of column II with column I and mark the appropriate choice.
(A) Mass of electron = 9.1 × 10−31 Kg(B) Mass of proton = 1.673 × 10−27 kg(C) Charge of electron = −1.602 × 10−19 C(D) e/m for an electron = 1.76 × 108 C/gThus option B is the correct answer.
