Answer the following questions:
(a) Quarks inside protons and neutrons are thought to carry fractional charges [(+2 / 3) e ;(-1 / 3) e] . Why do they not show up in Millikan’s oil-drop experiment?
(b) What is so special about the combination e/m? Why do we not simply talk of e and \mathbf{m} separately?

Answer the following questions:
(a) Quarks inside protons and neutrons are thought to carry fractional charges [(+2 / 3) e ;(-1 / 3) e] . Why do they not show up in Millikan’s oil-drop experiment?
(b) What is so special about the combination e/m? Why do we not simply talk of e and \mathbf{m} separately?

(a) Inside protons and neutrons, quarks are considered to have fractional charges [(+2 / 3) \mathrm{e} ;(-1 / 3) \mathrm{e}] . This is due to the fact that when nuclear forces are separated, they become stronger. As a result, fractional charges appear to exist in nature. Electrical charges are an inherent multiple of visible charges (e)

(b) The relation between magnetic field electric field,

\mathrm{eV}=(1 / 2) \mathrm{mv}^{2} and \mathrm{eBv}=\mathrm{mv}^{2} / \mathrm{r}

Here,

e= electric charge

v= velocity

\mathrm{V}= potential

r= Radius

B= magnetic field

The dynamics of an electron can be determined only by the ratio \mathrm{e} / \mathrm{m} , not by e and m separately, as can be seen from these equations.
