AIM:  To determine the value of e/m of electron  using the bar magnet method.      To determine the value of e/m of  electron  using the bar magnet method.      J.J. Thomson, the discoverer of the electron, first determined in 1897 the ratio of the charge  e  of the electron to its mass  m  by applying electric and magnetic fields to a narrow beam of cathode rays. A Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) is a convenient device for determining e/m ratio of the electron. A narrow electron beam is produced in it and the beam can be manipulated by impressed electrical and magnetic fields over a small length of the electron path. The electric field produced by a short length of deflection plates and the magnetic field is applied from outside over the same length.    APPARATUS:  A cathode ray tube (CRT), a power supply, two bar magnets, deflection magnetometer, and wooden frame with scales fixed on its arms.     FORMULA        ...
