012-03471E e/m Apparatus Introduction The PASCO Model SE-9638 e/m Apparatus provides a simple method for measuring e/m, the charge to mass ratio Helmholtz coils of the electron. The method is similar to that used by J.J. Thomson in 1897. A beam of electrons is accelerated...

e/m Apparatus 012-03471E Improving Experimental Results Measurement of e/m Notes 1) The greatest source of error in this experiment is the velocity of the electrons. First, the non-uniformity of the accelerating field caused by the hole in the anode causes the velocity of the electrons to be slightly less than their theoretical value.
