@ heena, what is the millikan's oil experiment? do you know something about it?

anonymous · Answer

This is theoretical type question::read it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drop_experiment

anonymous · Answer

hint:The charge q on a drop was always a multiple of 1.6 x 10 -19 C(e), the charge on a single electron.

anonymous · Answer

integer multiple only...like e,2e,3e,4e......

anonymous · Answer

dat i knw dat it is the multiple of e as well as abu this xperiment too.. my silly fault i get it how to do thnx :)
