==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Specific charge''' is the [[ratio]] of the [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of a [[particle]] to its [[mass]] shown in the equation <math>S.C. = \frac{Q}{m}</math> where 'Q' is the [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of the [[particle]] and 'm' is the [[mass]] of the [[particle]].
===About Specific Charge===
: The [[SI Unit]]s for '''specific charge''' are the [[Coulomb]] per [[kilogram]] (Ckg<sup>-1</sup>).
: The '''specific charge''' of a [[particle]] is a useful quantity when using a [[Mass Spectrometer|mass spectrometer]] or [[Cloud Chamber|cloud chamber]] as it determines the rate of curvature of a [[particle]] with a given [[velocity]] through a known [[Magnetic Field Strength|magnetic field strength]].
===Equation===
<math>S.C. = \frac{Q}{m}</math>
Where
<math>S.C. =</math> The '''specific charge''' of a [[particle]].
<math>Q =</math> The [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of the [[particle]].
<math>m =</math> The [[mass]] of the [[particle]].
