Millikan's oil drop experiment - Magnus Karlsson
https://magnus-karlsson.nu/millikan/
Robert Millikan wanted to find the value of the charge of the electron. During the years 1908-1910 he studied how small droplets of oil in an electrical field fall. By adjusting the strength of the electrical field he could balance the electrical force with the gravitational force. Eventually, Millikan managed to calculate the charge of the electron. In 1923 he received the Nobel Prize i… login
