The Specific Charge of the electron :

From r = 5 cm, e/m = 1.38E+011 A sec/Kg Error in e/m =

From r = 4 cm, e/m = 1.92E+011 A sec/Kg Error in e/m =

From r = 3 cm, e/m = 1.21E+011 A sec/Kg Error in e/m =

Result :
The specific charge of electron is e/m = (1.21±0.03)E+011

Conclusion:
1. The obtained value of specific charge of the electron is (1.21±0.03)E+011.
2. Systematic errors might be present in the given experimetal setup.
3. Values have low precision due to small least count of the given measuring instrument.
