GIven that the specific charge of a proton is 96 million coulomb/kg

What I need is the SPECIFIC CHARGE i.e the e/m ratio . All the answers that you have provided me are concerned with charges.

alpha is 2 times the charge and 4 times the mass so I guess you multiply by 2 and divide by 4 ?

Specific Charge Of Alpha Particle

Well if you're given the specific charge of a proton, and the alpha particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and neutrons have the same mass as protons but zero charge, then the specific charge is half of that of a proton.

well there are 2 protons in the alpha particle so you have half of the charge already :)
edit: the mass is 6.644656×10-27 kg. WORK IT OUT. thats what school is for. I'll help but i wont do your work for you. specific charge is just charge divided by mass. you can do it.

The specific charge of an alpha particle is +2, because an alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, (essentially a helium ion).

a=4/2
so a = +2 charge.
a=alpha particle
