The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
The neutron has no charge, therefore the charge to mass ratio for the neutron is zero.
It is a simple ratio charge/mass or e/m .
The ratio of the specific charge of an electron to that of a positron is 1:1. Both the electron and positron have the same magnitude of charge but opposite in sign, with the electron being negative and the positron being positive.
The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.
Modern Mass Spectrometry is the alternative method to measure the charge to mass ratio of an electron.
No, the charge to mass ratio value would not be the same if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have different charge and mass compared to electrons, so the ratio would vary. The charge to mass ratio is specific to each type of particle.
The electron has the highest charge to mass ratio. This is because it has a tiny mass compared to its charge, making its ratio very high.
The charge-to-mass ratio for electrons was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897 through his experiments with cathode ray tubes. He found that the ratio was constant regardless of the material used in the cathode and the nature of the gas in the tube.
The question is incorrect. (Either that, or I don't know what "specific charge" means.) The alpha particle has a charge of +2, while the proton is +1 and the electron is -1.If you are talking about charge to mass ratio, however, it is true that the alpha particle has a mass of about 4 amu, while the proton is 1 amu, and the electron is 1/1836 amu. This makes the charge to mass ratio of the alpha particle to only be about 0.25, while the proton is 1.0 and the electron is -1836.
The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
The neutron has no charge, therefore the charge to mass ratio for the neutron is zero.
Mass and charge are not connected. Negative charge is the charge carried by an electron.
Because its mass and charge are constant.
It is a simple ratio charge/mass or e/m .
The charge of an electron is -1 elementary charge, and its mass is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms.
The specific charge of an electron is its charge-to-mass ratio. It quantifies how the charge of an electron compares to its mass and is approximately -1.76 x 10^11 coulombs per kilogram. This property plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of electrons in electromagnetic fields.
