Study Notes

Conductivity of Gases

  • Gases are bad conductors of electricity.
  • Conductivity can be increased by decreasing the pressure and/or increasing the potential difference between the electrodes.

Cathode Rays

  • Specific charge of cathode rays is a universal constant.
  • Cathode rays are a stream of electrons.
  • They can be deflected by an electric field, but don't move with the same speed as light.

Fundamental Particles

  • Electron, proton, and neutron are fundamental particles.
  • X-rays are not a fundamental particle.

Anode Rays

  • The ratio of anode rays produced in a discharge tube depends on the nature of the gas filled in the tube.

Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment

  • Millikan's oil drop experiment is used to find the charge on an electron.

Atomic Structure

  • An element with atomic number and atomic weight will have protons and neutrons.

Ion Formation

  • Positive ions are formed from a neutral atom by the loss of electrons.

Minimum Real Charge

  • The minimum real charge on any particle that can exist is not zero.

Charge-to-Mass Ratio

  • The increasing order of values for (charge/mass) is n, p, e.
