Discuss the Millikan's oil drop experiment to determine the charge of an electron.

An oil drop of 12 excess electrons is field stationary under constant clectric field of 2.55 xx 10^(4) NC^(-1) in Millikan's oil drop experiment. Then density of the oil is 1.26g cm^(-3) . Estimate the radius of the drop. (g=9.81 ms^(-2), e=1.60 xx 10^(-19)C) .

The potential difference between the plates in Millikan's oil drop experiment is ________ volts.

An oil drop with 10 excess electrons is held stationary under a constant electric field of 3 xx 10^(4) NC^(-1) in Millikan oil drop experiment. The density of the oil is 1.26 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) . Calculate the radius of the drop.

In a Millikan-type oil-drop experiment, the plates are 8 mm apart. An oil drop is found to remain at rest when the upper plate is at a potential 136 V higher than that of the lower one. When the electric field is switched off, the drop is found to fall a distance of 2.0 mm in 36 seconds with a uniform speed. Find (a) the charge on the drop and (b) the number of electrons attached to this drop. Density of oil = 880 kg m^(-3) and coefficient of viscosity of air = 180 mupoise .

In the Milikan oil drop experiment the drop carries 10 electronic charges charge and a mass of 4.4 xx 10^(-15)kg . It is held almost stationary between two horizontal plate separated by 2cm. What is the potential between the plates?
