Using PYTHON: In this project you will analyze data taken by students in a Modern Physics lab using the Thomson apparatus in order to measure the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron. In the experiment a beam of electrons moves in a circle in a magnetic field created by Helmholtz coils. The radius of the circle r is measured as a function of accelerating voltage V and Helmholtz coil current I. The charge-to-mass ratio e/m for the electrons can be shown to be

where a = 0.15m is the radius of the Helmholtz coils, N = 130 is the number of turns in the coils, and 0 = 1.26106 Tm/A is the permeability constant. There are two sets of measurements on Canvas in the files em1.dat and em2.dat. The columns in both files are V in volts, I in amps, and r in cm (remember to convert r to meters to make the units work). First, calculate a column of e/m values for each file. (please show code)
