Electron radius (classical) handbreadth

Electron Radius (Classical)

The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.

History/Origin

The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.

Current Use

The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.


Handbreadth

A handbreadth is an ancient unit of length, based on the width of the hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. It is typically about 3 inches.

History/Origin

The handbreadth has been used as a unit of measurement in many cultures throughout history.

Current Use

The handbreadth is an obsolete unit of measurement.
