Question

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.82 µm and density 0.866 g/cm³ is suspended in chamber C (see the figure) when a downward electric field of 2.23 \times 10^5 N/C is applied. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of $e$.

00:01 So here in this question to calculate the charge on the oil drop we can use the equation qe is equals to m g d where q is the charge on the oil drop in coulombs m is the mass of the oil drop g is the acceleration relative to gravity d is the distance between the plates in the chamber and e is the electric field in volts per meter...
