Smartphones and Tracker in the "e/m" Experiment
Pirbhai, M.
Physics Education, v55 n1 Article 015001 Jan 2020
Measuring the "e/m" ratio is a classic experiment in the physics curriculum. We show that smartphones can reliably measure the magnetic field strengths involved. Moreover, phone cameras and the image-processing software Tracker can make determining the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron more accurate.
