- Robert Millikan was an American physicist who in 1909 performed a classic experiment involving charged oil drops. Millikan adjusted the voltage applied between two metal plates in order to suspend charged drops in the resulting electric field. For a suspended drop, the electrostatic force directed up exactly balances out the weight of the drop. Millikan ultimately determined the charge on an electron and that charge is quantized. This means that charge comes in increments, discrete amounts, rather than any amount.A NEGATIVELY-charged oil drop is suspended between two plates of opposite charge by an electric field of 603 newtons per coulomb. The drop is determined to have a mass of 8.86 x 10-17 kilograms.a. What is the charge on the drop? Include units in your answer. More information.b. How many excess electrons does it carry? Hint: Charge is quantized, so this answer must be just an integer.arrow_forwardNow you have a nucleus with 15 protons at x = 7.3 Angstroms on the x-axis.

Dur- ing the collision, a proton from the helium-3 nucleus passes to the nitrogen nucleus, so that following the col- lision there are two atoms: an atom of "heavy hydro- gen" (deuterium, m = 2.014 u) and an atom of oxygen-15 15.003 u). The incident helium atoms are moving at (m a velocity of 6.346 × 10° m/s. After the collision, the deu- terium atoms are observed to be moving forward (in the same direction as the initial helium atoms) with a velocity of 1.531 x 10' m/s.
