Week 05-06: Determination of the charge to mass ratio (e/m) of the electron by fine beam tube method.

 

Aims of the Experiment:

  • To study the deflection of Electrons in a Magnetic Field into a circular orbit. 

  • Determination of the Magnetic Field B as a function of the Accelerating Potential V of the Electron at a constant radius r.

  • Determination of the Specific Charge of the Electron.

 

Prerequisites:

  • Electricity and Magnetism-II
