Who Invented The Electron Research Paper

Today we may ask some times how did people to create or find something, it is simple the thing is they just dedication. Also the world is small and we are at the age were it is already everything created or found. Also at that time fatal disease or something were known by people were they trust and that they and we learn from it is already invented or read by people. So this is how some men did get ride of that. British physicist Joseph John Thomson was the man that discovered the electron. In 1897 was the year he had it discovered. It all started with a series of experiments to understand the nature of electric discharge, and it was being investigated by many other scientists during that time. He used the deflection of the rays with electric plates and magnets for an evidence of “bodies much smaller than atoms”. He thought having a very large value for the charge-to-mass ratio and he then found the value of the charge itself. …show more content…
What his experiment basically did was determined the size of the charge on an electron. Another thing this experiment did was determined that there was a smallest 'unit' charge. That experiment he did payed of when he the Nobel Prize in 1923. He had a charge on a tiny drop of oil, showing how strong should be applied, the electric field had to be in very perfect order to prevent the oil from falling. Because he was able to work out the mass of the oil drop, and he could calculate the force of gravity on one drop, he could then determine the electric charge, he drop must have. His variation on the charge on different drops, made him notice that the charge was always a multiple, on the charge of a single electron. This meant that always electrons are carrying this
