Robert Milikan is best known for his experiments that measured the elementary electric charge of the electron. Through his oil drop experiment conducted in 1909, he was able to determine the charge of the electron with remarkable precision. This work not only provided crucial evidence for the existence of electrons but also contributed significantly to the understanding of atomic structure and the field of electrochemistry. Additionally, Milikan won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923 for his achievements.

Who was the trumpet section for a chorus line 1985 movie?
I know that Bob Milikan played lead.
Who was milikan?
A scientist who made an expirament that was better then rutherfords expirament his was more avanced becuase with milikan's expirament you could study one drop at a time but rutherfords expirament requird you to study the whole cloud and by stuying the drop you could figure more out about the substance.
Which school is better CAMS Milikan Poly or Cabrillo?
CAMS! (California Academy of Mathematics and Science) is way better although there's a lengthy application process. But it's worth it! CAMS is in the top 5o schools nationwide. Poly, Milikan, and Cabrillo didn't even make the list. I'll be going to CAMS for 2009-2013!
What did Robert milikan discover?
Millikan's oil-drop experiment demonstrated that charge is quantized, and that the quantum of charge ... the 'elementary' charge ... is 1.6 x 10-19 Coulomb.
What was Robert Millikan's discovery and when did it happen?
In 1908 Milikan discovered the charge of the elctron which is 1.60 x 10-19. He also confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of the photoelectric effect. He won the noble peace prize in physics, for his discovery of the electron's charge, in 1923.
Who performed the oil drop experiement?
Robert Millikan in 1909
Who conducted experiments to determine the quantity of charge carried by electron?
Robert A. Millikan conducted the oil drop experiment in 1909 to determine the quantity of charge on an electron. By measuring the forces acting on charged oil droplets in an electric field, he was able to calculate the charge of an electron as approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.
How many colleges did Dr. Seuss attend?
Dr. Seuss attended two colleges: Dartmouth College and Lincoln College, Oxford.
Why did the magnets cancel deflection in the experiment for discovering electrons?
"Discover electrons"!!! You mean the Leonhard experiment that sent a ray of electrons through a cathode ray tube and observed the change in the spot of light at the screen? But there WAS no "cancelation", so I'm not sure what you're asking. But there was another experiment that needs to be considered part of the "discovery" of the electron: that of Milikan: the oil-drop experiment. Between the work of Leonhaard (which established the ratio of the electronic mass to the electronic charge) and that of Milikan (which established the charge of the electron) the experimental foundations of the discovery were provided. It ws docuemtned by J. J. Thompson (in "The Electon, early 20th centry") Walter Ludwig Schubert, historyofmatter@hotmail.com
