When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.
The thomson (symbol: Th) is a unit that has appeared infrequently in scientific literature relating to the field of mass spectrometry as a unit of mass-to-charge ratio.The unit was proposed by R. Graham Cooks and Alan L. Rockwood [1] naming it in honour of J. J. Thomson who measured the mass-to-charge ratio of electrons and ions.
In 1913 he measured the mass-to-charge ratio of ions with an instrument he called a parabola spectrograph. [8] Although this data was not represented as a modern mass spectrum, it was similar in meaning. Eventually there was a change to the notation as m/e giving way to the current standard of m/z.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Mass spectrometry is used in many different fields and is applied to pure samples as well as complex mixtures.
Charge transfer coefficient, and symmetry factor (symbols α and β, respectively) are two related parameters used in description of the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. They appear in the Butler–Volmer equation and related expressions.
Occasionally, δδ+ is used to indicate a partial charge that is less positively charged than δ+ (likewise for δδ-) in cases where it is relevant to do so. [2] This can be extended to δδδ+ to indicate even weaker partial charges as well. Generally, a single δ+ (or δ-) is sufficient for most discussions of partial charge in organic ...
Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.
This ratio is the rest mass of the proton divided by that of the electron. An analogous ratio can be defined for any elementary particle. Strong force coupling strength α s ≈ 1. The tensor-to-scalar ratio , a ratio between the contributions of tensor and scalar modes to the primordial power spectrum observed in the CMB. [23]
