Millikan found the charge of an electron by his famous oil drop experiment. J J Thomson determined the specific charge of the electron. That means the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. With these two values one can find the mass of electron by dividing the charge value by its specific charge.
The oil drop experiment by Robert Millikan determined the charge of an electron, which helped to establish the quantization of electric charge. This experiment was significant in accurately measuring the charge of individual electrons.
Number of electrons = the number of protons. Electron and proton number of a specific charge is always same. :-) Hope this helped! Cheers, Brandon.
The oil drop experiment by Millikan was significant in determining the charge of an electron because it allowed for the measurement of the charge of individual electrons. By observing the motion of oil droplets in an electric field, Millikan was able to calculate the charge of each droplet and determine that the charge was always a multiple of a fundamental unit, which turned out to be the charge of a single electron. This experiment provided a precise value for the charge of an electron and helped to establish the concept of quantized electric charge.
Electron's have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge.
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.
Faraday's experiment with electrolysis provided clues about the existence of electrons. He observed that when an electric current passed through an electrolyte solution, elements were deposited at the electrodes in specific ratios, indicating the presence of fundamental particles carrying electric charge.
The specific charge of an electron is its charge-to-mass ratio. It quantifies how the charge of an electron compares to its mass and is approximately -1.76 x 10^11 coulombs per kilogram. This property plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of electrons in electromagnetic fields.
Protons have positive charge and electrons negative
Electrons have a negative charge.
The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.
To calculate the number of electrons, you need to know the total charge of the system or material in question and the charge of a single electron (approx. -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs). By dividing the total charge by the charge of a single electron, you can determine the number of electrons. Formula: Total number of electrons = Total charge / Charge of a single electron.
