Elementary charge the difference between the particle "electron" and the unit of charge "electron" was still blurred. Later, the name "electron" was assigned to the particle and the unit of charge "e" lost its name. However, the unit of energy electronvolt reminds us that the elementary charge was once called "electron". The maximum capacity of each pixel in a charge-coupled device image sensor, known as the "well depth", is typically given in units of electrons, commonly around 10 per pixel. In high-energy physics (HEP) Lorentz–Heaviside units are used, and the charge unit is a dependent one, formula_1, so that = 0.30282212088 .
Mass-to-charge ratio the mass of a particle. Often, the charge-to-mass ratio can be determined from observing the deflection of a charged particle in an external magnetic field. The cyclotron equation, combined with other information such as the kinetic energy of the particle, will give the charge-to-mass ratio. One application of this principle is the mass spectrometer. The same principle can be used to extract information in experiments involving the cloud chamber. The ratio of electrostatic to gravitational forces between two particles will be proportional to the product of their charge-to-mass ratios. It turns out that gravitational forces are negligible on the subatomic
