Experimental Design:• large steel chamber with microscope and atomizer attached.
• atomizer sprayed a fine mist of oil into the chamber.
• oil becomes charged by friction when passing through the nozzle of the atomizer.

• Through the microscope, Millikan could watch the oil drops fall.
• He placed parallel plates in the chamber and activated it when a good looking drop came along.
• The electric force acting on the drop counteracted gravity, suspending the drop.
May 229:54 AM
• By measuring the diameter of the drop (and knowing the oil density), he could determine the drop’s mass.
• By setting the electric field strength so that the electric force was equal to the force of gravity, he could determine the charge of the drop.

Concept
Small charged mass
Parallel, oppositely charged plates
If the mass is stationary (or moving at a constant velocity):
May 229:54 AM
The Complications• The mass used by Millikan was tiny drops of oil
created using an atomizer (think perfume sprayer).
• Mass of each drop was different.
• Mass was calculated by measuring (very small) radius to determine volume, then using density to get the mass.

More Complications• Many drops appeared between the plates at once,
making it difficult to observe a single drop.
• The number of e¯ added or removed when the drops were formed was not known.
• The drops are very small (about 10-16 kg) so they “float” on the air. This buoyant force must be factored into the calculations.

Example:• An oil drop with the mass of 9.80 x10-16 kg is
suspended in a 20 kV/m electric field between two parallel, oppositely charged plates.
• Find the charge on the drop.
• How many e¯ have been added or removed from the drop?

Example:• An oil drop (weight = 4.80 x 10-14 N) is
suspended between two parallel, oppositely charged plates that are 3.00 cm apart. The potential between the plates is 1.80 kV.

Solution:
May 229:54 AM
Finally: • After thousands of trials, Millikan had enough
successful trials to show that all of the charges he calculated were multiples of one number, 1.60x10-19 C.
• Since he never found a smaller common multiple of this charge, he concluded this must be the charge on a single electron.
• The idea that charge could be quantized (broken down to an indivisible piece) had been proven.
• This is called the quantization of charge.

Example• An oil drop is suspended between two parallel,
oppositely charged plates, 6.00 cm apart. The potential between the plates is 600 V. The oil drop radius is 4.94 x 10-5 cm. The oil density is 0.952 g/mL. Find the number of electrons of imbalance on the drop (the number of e¯ added or removed).
