Electron Charge-to-Mass Ratio Results

Procedure and Analysis

1. The radius of the electron beam was measured and the data have been provided.

2. Use the equation provided above to determine the magnetic field.

3. Use equation 3 to find e/m for each case.

4. Determine the standard deviation for your data. Discuss the precision of your experiment. Are the individual measurements with associated uncertainty accurate when compared to the accepted value?

5. Find the average value and standard deviation of your measurements of e/m. Compare the average with the accepted value of 1.76x1011C/kg. Was your average value accurate?
