Who discovered charge of electron ? State charge mass of electron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

R.A Millikan devised oil drop experiment to determine the charge on the electrons.
According to Millikan the charge of the electron `=- 1.6 xx 10^(19) C`
The present accepted value of electrical charge is `=- 1.6022 xx 10^(19) C`
Mass of electron =`m_(e )`
`= (e)/( e//m_(e )) = (1.6022 xx 10^(19) C ) /( 1.758820 xx 10^(11) C kg^(-1))`
