The device consists of a large conducting sphere at the bottom of a cylindrical tube, as shown in the figure. Thesphere has mass Ms and is given a charge Qs. Small particles are ionized before being placed in the device, giving the particles a small net charge. The particles placed in the device then come to rest at some height above the sphere's center. Thestudents place two particles, particle 1 and particle 2, into the device at the same time and notice that the particles settle at different heights, either h, or h2 = 2h1. They identify the mass and charge of particles 1 and 2 as m1, q, and m2, ,respectively.
