HowStuffWorks: Atoms said:By applying an electric field alone, a magnetic field alone, or both in combination, Thomson could measure the ratio of the electric charge to the mass of the cathode rays.
He found the same charge to mass ratio of cathode rays was seen regardless of what material was inside the tube or what the cathode was made of.
Charge and mass are two completely different things, how can you have the same ratio of the two?
