SUMMARY

The charge of fundamental particles, such as electrons and protons, is determined using the mass-to-charge ratio, particularly in mass spectrometry. The most notable historical experiment for measuring the charge of an electron is Millikan's oil drop experiment, which provided a precise value for the electron's charge. Current methodologies continue to utilize mass spectrometers to analyze the mass-to-charge ratios of particles, confirming the foundational principles established by Millikan.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mass spectrometry techniques
  • Familiarity with Millikan's oil drop experiment
  • Knowledge of fundamental particle physics
  • Basic principles of charge and mass relationships
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced mass spectrometry techniques for charge measurement
  • Study the historical context and implications of Millikan's oil drop experiment
  • Explore the role of mass-to-charge ratios in modern particle physics
  • Investigate current methods for measuring the charge of protons and other particles
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in particle physics, and professionals in analytical chemistry will benefit from this discussion on charge calculation methods and their historical significance.

How charge is calculated? for example,how we found the charge of an electron or proton?
is it using mass/charge ratio in mass spectrometer?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Thanks for the info..

Yeah, i think so, :wink: http://www.internetgameservice.com/pirates-of-the-burning-sea-gold-potbs.php can you give me some info about the game gold?/ i don't think this website is good enough for me.
