A | 5.52 x 10^-14 el
B | 2.30 x 10^-14 el
C | 5.98 x 10^-14 el
D | 2.76 x 10^-14 el

Given the results of the scientist's experiment, determine the charge on an electron in electrinos.

electron charge: [ ] el

Given that the charge on an electron is 1.60 x 10^-19 C, determine the conversion factor between electrinos and coulombs.

1 C = [ ] el

Step 1

This is because the charge on an electron is the smallest unit of charge, and the charges on the oil drops should be multiples of this. The charges on the oil drops are: 5.52 x 10^-14 el 2.30 x 10^-14 el 5.98 x 10^-14 el 2.76 x 10^-14 el The GCF of these numbers Show more…
