ELECTRON CHARGE-TO-MASS RATIO

I.

Background
Our background working on this experiments are we have to understand how
electric and magnethic field impact an electron beam and then we have to
determine the electron charge-to-mass ratio (e/m).

II.

Instruments
Magnetron
Voltmeter
Amperemeter
Solenoid Coil

III.

Methods
Putting magnetron inside the solenoid coil, it have to at center position.
We have to checking the voltmeter is at turned off state.
Switch on S1 and turn on the voltmeter, set the value of voltmeter is 20 V ( it
will to be V ).
Set the value of current (i) from 0, 10, 20, 30..... while the number is changing,
we have to write down the value of (I) each value of (i).
We have to increase the value of i until the value of I goes down to zero.
If the value of I goes down to zero, repeat the methods with change the value
of V with 25, 30 and 35 V.
After complete the measurements, we have to draw graph on graph paper.
Plot data where i as x axis and I as y axis.
Draw line according the plotting data.
Find the value of I which has i = 0 , that value will be as Ic, and then divide Ic
with 2. Calculate the result from V/Ic^2.
We have to determine radian of solenoid coil with measure the value of
diameters at inside and outside of solenoid coil then measure the length of
solenoid coil. We have to use vernier scale to determine it.
Calculate the value of cos.
Determine the value of electron charge to mass ratio.
