Summary

You have investigated the motion of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. You will have seen how we use the Helmholtz configuration to create a region of a uniform magnetic field. You will have observed them travelling in a circular path and used measurements to determine the charge to mass ratio of an electron which hopefully is reasonably close to the established value, using a single set of data and a graphical method.
