Question

What is the presently accepted value of the specific charge \[e/m\] for cathode ray particles?

Options

• \[1.76 \times 10^{-11}\ \text{C/kg}\]

• \[1.602 \times 10^{-19}\ \text{C/kg}\]

• \[1.76 \times 10^{11}\ \text{C/kg}\]

• \[3 \times 10^8\ \text{C/kg}\]

Answer 1

The presently accepted specific charge is \[1.76 \times 10^{11}\ \text{C/kg}\]. Specific charge is the charge-to-mass ratio \[e/m\].
