Question

what is the charge of an electron according to the millikan's oil drop experiment? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Millikan and Fletcher's experiment involved measuring the force on oil droplets in a glass chamber sandwiched between two electrodes, one above and one below.

With the electrical field calculated, they could measure the droplet's charge, the charge on a single electron being (1.592×10−19 C).
