In Millikan’s experiment, the oil droplets acquire one or more negative charges by combining with the negative charges that are

produced from the ionization of air by X rays. By measuring the charges on the oil droplets, he calculated the charge on a single electron as −1.60×10−19 C. The charge on any negatively charged oil droplet is always a whole-number multiple of the fundamental charge of a single electron.If Millikan was measuring the charge on an oil droplet with 6 negatively charged electrons on it, what charge would he have measured on the droplet?

Answer:

-9.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Explanation:

The charge of a single electron is:

q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C

If a droplet contains N electrons, then its charge would be:

Q=Nq

In this case, the droplet has

N = 6

electrons, so its total charge is

Q=(6)(-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C)=-9.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Ann puts a beaker on the scale which shows the mass to be 1.65kg. The actual mass was 1.72 kg. what was the percent error in Ann
mojhsa [17]

Measured reading is 1.65 kg

actual reading was 1.72 kg

error in the reading is 1.72 - 1.65 = 0.07 kg

Now percentage error is given as

error = \frac{error}{true reading}*100

error = \frac{0.07}{1.72}*100

error = 4.1

<em>so this is -4.1% error as the measured reading is less than the actual value</em>
