Millikan Oil Drop Experiment
2. Atoms & Elements / Millikan Oil Drop Experiment / Problem 1

In a hypothetical universe, the charge of the negatively charged zarg was determined via a method similar to Millikan's oil-drop experiment with the following results.

(a) Using the tabulated results, calculate the minimum charge of a zarg.
(b) An additional droplet was determined to have a charge of 3.26 ×10–15 C. Does this affect the previously calculated charge for a zarg? If yes, calculate the new minimum charge of a zarg.
