The Velocity Selector


The Mass Spectrometer
Thomson demonstrated that this glow was produced by a flood of particles, all with identical charges and mass, flowing out of the cathode. He called these particles ELECTRONS and made the first step in determining their physical properties by measuring their charge-mass ratio (q/m).
The Hall Effect

  Problem: A flat copper ribbon 0.330 mm thick carries a steady current of 50.0 A and is located in a uniform 1.30-T magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the ribbon. If a Hall voltage of 9.60 microVolts is measured across the ribbon, what is the charge density of the free electrons? What effective number of free electrons per atom does this result indicate?
