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.

• A. (a) 1 zarg = 3.19 × 10^–16 C
  (b) Yes, the new value for a zarg is 4.85 × 10^–16 C.
• B. (a) 1 zarg = 8.16 × 10^–16 C
  (b) No, the new droplet does not affect the calculated value for a zarg.
• C. (a) 1 zarg = 5.32 × 10^–16 C
  (b) Yes, the new value for a zarg is 5.44 × 10^–16 C.
• D. (a) 1 zarg = 4.66 × 10^–16 C
  (b) No, the new droplet does not affect the calculated value for a zarg.

Answer: (B)
