The classic Millikan oil-drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oi

l drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field.
Consider an oil drop with a weight of 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ N, if the drop has a single excess electron, find the magnitude (in N/C) of the electric field needed to balance its weight. Your should round your answer to an integer, indicate only the number, do not include the unit.

Answer:

156250 N/C

Explanation:

weight of drop, W = 2.5 x 10^-14 N

charge of drop, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Let the electric field is E.

Weight is balanced by the electrostatic force

W = qE

2.5 x 10^-14 = 1.6 x 10^-19 x E

E = 156250 N/C

Answer:

1.56\times 10^5 N/C        

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

E =\frac{W}{e}

Substitute the values:

E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.
