Who Discovered charge-to-mass ratio of an electron?
J.J. Thomson
5.) J.J. Thomson measured the charge-to-mass ratio of the cathode rays by measuring how much they were deflected by a magnetic field and how much energy they carried.
Which scientist determined the charge-to-mass ratio?
J. J. Thomson
History. In the 19th century, the mass-to-charge ratios of some ions were measured by electrochemical methods. In 1897, the mass-to-charge ratio of the electron was first measured by J. J. Thomson.
Who determined the charge of the electron?
Robert Millikan
This is a picture of Robert Millikan. He measured the electric charge on the electron and this is basically how he did it – by dropping oil drops.
Who discovered mass of electron?

| Hydrogen atomic orbitals at different energy levels. The more opaque areas are where one is most likely to find an electron at any given time. | |

How did JJ Thomson determined the charge-to-mass ratio?
He determined that the negatively charged particles (electrons) were much lighter than the positively charged particles. The electron charge-to-mass ratio was measured by accelerating the electrons through a voltage Vx towards a positively charged plate.
How did JJ Thomson discover the charge-to-mass ratio?
The Discovery of the Electron (J. J. Thomson) By balancing the effect of a magnetic field on a cathode-ray beam with an electric field, Thomson was able to show that cathode “rays” are actually composed of particles. This experiment also provided an estimate of the ratio of the charge to the mass of these particles.
How did JJ Thomson determine the charge-to-mass ratio?
The cathode ray is deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate, and towards the positively-charged electric plate. The amount by which the ray was deflected by a magnetic field helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles.
How did JJ Thomson discovered charge-to-mass ratio?
Who determined the charge of an electron and how was this done?
In 1909, Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher conducted the oil drop experiment to determine the charge of an electron. They suspended tiny charged droplets of oil between two metal electrodes by balancing downward gravitational force with upward drag and electric forces.
What does Bohr theory state?
The model states that electrons in atoms move in circular orbits around a central nucleus and can only orbit stably in certain fixed circular orbits at a discrete set of distances from the nucleus. These orbits are associated with definite energies and are also called energy shells or energy levels.
Who discovered neutron proton and electron?
Discovery of Electrons, Protons and Neutrons
| Discoverer | Year of Discovery | |
|---|---|---|
| Proton | E. Rutherford | 1909 |
| Neutron | James Chadwick | 1932 |
| Electron | J.J. Thomson | 1897 |
When was the ratio of electron charge to mass discovered?
The quantity representing the ratio of an electron’s charge to it’s mass was experimentally sought after for the first time by J. J. Thomson in 1897 using cathode ray tubes. He is also credited with the discovery of the electron itself.
How did J J Thomson calculate the mass of an electron?
Once the electron was discovered, he continued his experiments to calculate the charge and the mass of the electron. With the help of his experiments, he derived a formula for the calculation of charge to mass ratio of the electron. The charge to mass ratio of the electron is given by : m = mass of an electron in kg = 9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms.
How is the charge to mass ratio measured?
The charge to mass ratio of the electrons was measured when electrons were accelerated through a voltage, Vx towards the positively charged plate. Some of these electrons passed through a tiny hole present in the plate and formed an electric beam which travelled to a place wherein both the magnetic as well as the electric fields were present.
How did Maxwell calculate the charge to mass ratio?
Using Maxwell’s theories and some geometry he was able to calculate the charge to mass ratio of an electron based on measurements of the current’s path. In our lab we used an updated apparatus. In place of the cathode tubes, we had a glass tube full of a very dilute helium gas.
