In the Millikan's oil drop method, which of the following force does not act on the oil drop?

A

Gravitational force

B

Viscous force

C

Magnetic force

D

Electrostatic force

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Electrically charged droplet of oil located between two parallel metal surfaces forming the plates of capacitor The plate were oriented horizontally, with one plate above the other. Atomised oil drop was introduced through a small hole in between the plates and it is ionised by X-ray, making them negatively charged. First, with zero applied electric field, the velocity of a falling droplet was measured. At terminal velocity, the drag force (viscous force)equals to the gravitational force. Both forces depends on the radius in different ways, when electric field was applied between the plates then drop were suspended in mechanical equilibrium By repeating the experiment for many droplet they confirmed the charges were all small integer multiples of a certain base value which was found to be `1.59 xx10^(-19)C` . Magnetic force absent in oil droplet experiment.

    When liquid medicine of density p is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. When the force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached form the dropper. If the radius of the opening of the dropper is r, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop uf radius R (assumning <
