Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
Ton (Assay) (Us)
The ton (assay) (US), symbolized as AT (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in the assay and precious metals industry, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United States as a standardized measure for precious metal content in assays, aligning with the metric system but retaining the traditional 'ton' terminology for industry consistency.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (AT US) is used mainly in the precious metals industry for assay purposes, especially in the context of gold and silver purity measurements, and is part of weight and mass conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
