Millikan in his famous oildrop experiment found charge on oildrop and thereby he determined charge of electron

after this charge quantisation is proved,

Millikan received the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics for the oil drop experiment that was completed in 1910 about 100 years ago when knowledge of the atomic structure was not clear. (a) what were the two main conclusions of the experiment that were worthy of a Nobel Prize? (b) It has been reported that Millikan “cherry-picked” his experimental data. What are your thoughts on his treatment of the data – did he commit scientific misconduct? (c) Why was oil used...

Animation—The Millikan Oil Drop Experiment Watch the animation to study the Millikan oil drop experiment. Click to launch the animation The Millikan oil drop experiment was a direct and convincing experiment for the measurement of the charge on a single electron. Millikan performed an experiment on a charged oil droplet. By balancing the forces acting on the oil droplet, the charge on a single electron can be calculated. Millikan found that the charge of an oil droplet is always a...

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from gold-197 nuclei (197Au). The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 7.34 ✕ 10−13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68 ✕ 10−27 kg and 3.29 ✕ 10−25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197).

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from gold-197 (197Au). See the figure below. The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.80 10-13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68 10-27 and 3.29 10-25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197).

In the famous Millikan oil-drop experiment, tiny spherical droplets of oil are sprayed into a uniform vertical electric field. The drops get a very small charge (just a few electrons) due to friction with the atomizer as they are sprayed. The field is adjusted until the drop (which is viewed through a small telescope) is just balanced against gravity, and therefore remains stationary. Using the measured value of the electric field, we can calculate the charge on the drop and...
