Do electrons have momentum

Open in App

Solution

The momentum of the electron.
The formula to calculate the electron's momentum is
$p = m \times v$
Where $p$ is the momentum
$m$ is the mass of the electron
$v$ is the velocity of the electron
Explanation
We know that electrons will possess velocity as well as mass, therefore we can conclude that electrons will have momentum.
