How is the mass of protons and electrons calculated?
And what about the mass of an electron? How is that measured?
The mass of an electron is typically measured using a different method - a technique called cyclotron resonance. This involves subjecting charged particles to a magnetic field and oscillating electric fields, which causes them to move in a circular path. By measuring the frequency of oscillation at a given magnetic field strength, scientists can calculate the mass of the electrons.
