Question

Calculate the mass of a charged particle in CGS units if its charge is X coloumb and specific charge is y coulomb /g

Open in App

Solution

Unit of mass in CGS system is gram.
Here specific charge has unit Coulomb/g
And charge in Coulomb.

So its mass is charge/specific charge =
X/y
Is the required answer.

Hope this helps :)
