To prove the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) of an electron in Thomson's experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Electron In Thomson's experiment, an electron moves through both an electric field (E) and a magnetic field (B). When the electron moves without deflection, the electric force acting on it is equal to the magnetic force. ### Step 2: Write the Expression for Electric Force The electric force (F_E) acting on the electron can be expressed as: \[ F_E = eE \] ...
