Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a carat (car, ct)?
-
A carat is a unit of mass commonly used for gemstones and pearls, exactly defined as 200 milligrams, and subdivided into 100 points.
-
What does electron rest mass represent?
-
Electron rest mass is the intrinsic mass of a free electron measured in its own rest frame, a fundamental constant in physics.
-
Why convert carats to electron mass?
-
This conversion helps relate macroscopic gem weights to fundamental particle masses for theoretical physics and interdisciplinary studies.
Key Terminology
