Who evaluated the mass of electron indirectly with help of charge
- Thomson
- Millikan
- Rutherford
- Newton
Answer
(1) Thomson
Solution
As per NCERT, J. J. Thomson measured the specific charge (e/m) of the cathode-ray particles (electrons) by balancing the electric and magnetic deflections.
The mass is not measured directly: it is evaluated from Thomson's e/m value with the help of the electronic charge,
m = e(e/m) = 1.6 10-191.76 1011
9.1 10-31 kg
Answer: (1)
