The formula to calculate the Charge to Mass Ratio (CTM) is:
\[ CTM = \frac{TC}{TM} \]
Where:
The formula to calculate the Mass to Charge Ratio (MTC) is:
\[ MTC = \frac{TM}{TC} \]
Let's say the total charge (\( TC \)) is 5 Coulombs, and the total mass (\( TM \)) is 10 kg. Using the formulas:
\[ CTM = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 \text{ C/kg} \]
\[ MTC = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ kg/C} \]
So, the Charge to Mass Ratio (\( CTM \)) is 0.5 C/kg, and the Mass to Charge Ratio (\( MTC \)) is 2 kg/C.
A charge to mass ratio is a physical quantity that represents the charge per unit mass of a given particle. It is an important parameter in fields such as physics and chemistry, particularly in the study of ions and subatomic particles.
