Electronic charge and Millikan's oil drop experiment
StrangeStar1StrangeStar1

Electronic charge and Millikan's oil drop experiment

(0)
This resource is designed for the Turning Points in Physics topic in AQA GCE Physics. It is the second lesson in the series and describes how the specific charge of an electron can be determined in the school laboratory with deflection methods using a fine beam tube. The resource then describes Millikan’s determination of the electron charge with his oil drop experiment.
