Vedclass · Answer

(B) In Millikan's oil drop experiment,the charge $q$ on any oil drop is always an integral multiple of the elementary charge $e$. This is expressed as $q = ne$,where $n$ is an integer $(n = 1, 2, 3, \dots)$.Given $e = 1.6 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ C}$.Option $B$ contains $2e$ (which is $2 	imes 1.6 	imes 10^{-19} = 3.2 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ C}$) and $10e$ (which is $10 	imes 1.6 	imes 10^{-19} = 1.6 	imes 10^{-18} 	ext{ C}$).Since both $2$ and $10$ are integers,these charges are possible on the oil drops.

From the following,what charges can be present on oil drops in Millikan's experiment? (Here $e$ is the electronic charge)
