Abstract
The electromagnetic mass of the electron remains yet to be an open question in physics.The classical model of the electron consists of a spherically symmetric distribution of electric charge.Because the relativistic electromagnetic energy-speed relation for spherical symmetric charge distribution is completely different from the relativistic(mechanical)mass-speed relation,the total relativistic energy of the electron in motion is not only a function of its speed,but also a function of the ratio of its electromagnetic mass to the known rest mass of the electron.In this paper,basing on the above mentioned knowledge,it was suggested that Bertozzis experiment should be used to research for electromagnetic mass of the electron,and the method was applied tentatively.
