Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the electron rest mass?
-
It is the invariant mass of a free electron measured in its own rest frame, representing the electron's intrinsic mass.
-
What is a dekagram?
-
A dekagram is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams, used for weighing small everyday items.
-
Why convert electron mass to dekagrams?
-
To express the very small intrinsic mass of an electron in a more familiar and practical unit for physics and interdisciplinary studies.
