Take the voltage between the plates to be 2161 V and the plate separation to be 2 cm. The oil drop (of density 0.81 g/cm3) has a diameter of 4.0 ×10-6 m. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of electron units. earrow_forwardConsider a model of an electron as a hollow sphere with radius R and the electron charge -e spread uniformly over that surface. d. Use Einstein’s equation relating rest mass to energy to derive a value for R. Unfortunately, your answer will be model-dependent. The traditional “Classical radius of the electron” is derived by setting the electrostatic work to be e2/(4pi e0 R)arrow_forward
