The increasing order (lowest first) for the values of 
(charge/mass) for electron (e), proton ( 
), neutron ( 
) and alpha particle ( 
) is:\
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Charge/mass ratio is inversely proportional to the mass and hence electron with lightest mass has the greatest charge/mass ratio followed by protons, alpha particles and neutrons.
