What formula did Thomson derive for velocity of selected cathode rays?

v=EBv = \frac{E}{B}

In Thomson's velocity selection, which forces were balanced?

Electric & magnetic

What formula did Thomson derive for charge-to-mass ratio?

qm=ErB2\frac{q}{m} = \frac{E}{rB^2}

What did Thomson's large qm\frac{q}{m} ratio indicate about cathode ray particles?

Very light or large charge

How did Thomson prove cathode rays were particles, not waves?

Measured their charge-to-mass ratio

How did Millikan suspend oil droplets in his apparatus?

Balancing weight with electric force

What formula did Millikan use to calculate charge on oil droplets?

q=mgdVq = \frac{mgd}{V}

What is the currently accepted value of elementary charge?

1.60×10191.60 \times 10^{-19} C

What pattern did Millikan observe in oil droplet charges?

Integer multiples of smallest value

How was electron mass calculated using both experiments?

m=q(q/m)m = \frac{q}{(q/m)}
