In the Millikan’s Oil Drop experiment, the oil drop is subjected to such forces whose nature does NOT fall under the category of:

A

A)electrostatic

B

B)viscous

C

C)gravitational

D

D) magnetostatic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Millikan.s oil drop experiment measured the charge of an electron. ... Electrically charged oil droplets entered the electric field and were balanced between two plates by altering the field. When the charged drops fell at a constant rate, the gravitational and electric forces on it were equal. In the whole experiment magnetostatic force doesn.t come into play.
