Millikan found the charge of an electron- or pretty close to the accepted value
the oil drop experiment postulated unit charges or electrons
clock oil
yes it is
It doesn't really "become" charged. An electron is always charged, and it can only have a charge of -e where value of elementary charge e is 1.602 * 10-19 C as found first by Millikan with his famous oil drop experiment
They ask Hermes and he does it for them
the oil drop experiment postulated unit charges or electrons
The drops had different charges because some drops had picked up more electrons than others, which gives them different charges at the end of the experiment.
The world may never know......
clock oil
yes it is
when did Millikan conduct his famous oil drop experiment
The charge of the electron
There are two scientist working together: The oil drop experiment was an experiment performed by Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to measure the charge of the electron (the elementary electric charge).
the answer is 14
he discovered the the electron has a negative charge through an experiment called the oil-drop experiment
Robert Millikan in 1909
American Physicist, Robert Millikin in 1909.
