Measuring the Specific Charge of an Electron Part 1 Setting up the Experiment

The measuring the e/m ratio of an electron was very important so physics at the beginning of the 1900 could gain a better understanding of this newly discovered particle. • The experiment uses equations from circular motion and forces on electron in magnetic fields which is part of the A2 physics syllabus as well as being in the Turning Points in Physics Module. • The experiment needs a fully darkened space. • A teacher must be present at all times during this experiment due to high voltages to the electron gun in the fine beam tube. • Phil Furneaux • Ogden Science Officer • Lancaster University • 26th Jan 2017 • http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/physics
