D3 solutions: Thomson's experiment
1. Thomson's experiment was performed to find the charge to mass ratio for electrons. Here is a video of the experiment: Although this isn't on the IB syllabus you have done enough physics to understand how it works and perform a calculation. a. The first stage is an electron gun Calculate the velocity of an electron accelerated by 2000V b. The second stage consists of a region of electric and magnetic field. The...
