Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
