2. Imagine that you perform the specific charge of the electron experiment in the lab and have taken the following data:
r = 0.03 m
r = 0.04 m
U (V) I (A) e/m (A.s/kg) I (A) e/m (A.s/kg)
240 2.52 1.89 260 2.61 1.96
b) Find the e/m ratio for each measurement.
c) Calculate the percentage error of e/m for:
i) Average value obtained by keeping "r" fixed.
ii) Average value obtained by keeping "U" fixed.
d) Can you tell which option in c) is more reliable? Why?
