The charge of an electron is -1. Specifically, it is about -1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. The mass of an electron is about 9.109 x 10-31 kilograms, or about one 1836th that of a proton.

The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton. An electron has a charge of -1, while a proton has a charge of +1.


What is an alternative method to measure the charge to mass ratio of an electron?

Modern Mass Spectrometry is the alternative method to measure the charge to mass ratio of an electron.


Elementary particle that carries a negative charge and almost no mass?

A electron is a subatomic particle outside the nucleus carrying a negative charge and very little mass. Other mass is negligible mass or a negative charge.


In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?

Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.

What did Robert milikan discover?

Millikan's oil-drop experiment demonstrated that charge is quantized, and that the quantum of charge ... the 'elementary' charge ... is 1.6 x 10-19 Coulomb.


How is a positron different from an electron?

A positron is an electron's antiparticle. It has the same mass as an electron, but an opposite electrical charge.


Who discovered the charge to mass ratio for the electrons?

Millikan found the charge of an electron by his famous oil drop experiment. J J Thomson determined the specific charge of the electron. That means the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. With these two values one can find the mass of electron by dividing the charge value by its specific charge.
