Chapter 26 Electromagnetism
Mass of Electron Determined by J.J. Thomson Determined by the deflection of the electron in a cathode ray tube
Electron motion in a cathode ray tube The electron travels straight if the Electric Field (E) is balanced with the Magnetic Field (B) V = E / B – V is velocity of electron – E is electric field strength Produced by charged parallel plates – B is magnetic field strength Produced by coils perpendicular to plates
Mass Spectrometer Used to mass charged ions (Isotopes) Used to determine the charge to mass ratios as well
Electromagnetic Wave A combination of a magnetic field and an electric field – Electric Field = Produced by charges (Voltages) – Magnetic Field = Produced by Orientation of Domains of positive/negatives
