In Millikan oil drop experiment, when the switch is opened and by altering supply the charge of electron is determined.

Explanation:

Millikan's oil drop experiment is held to determine the terminal velocity and charge of the oil drop.

Firstly without any supply of voltage when an oil drop is sprinkled and these droplets gather electrons together and gives negative charge as they pass through air.

By applying and altering voltage applied on the plates, drop can be suspended in air. Millikan observed one drop after another, varying the voltage and noting the effect. After many repetitions he concluded that charge could assume only certain fixed values.

After conducting many times he concluded 1.602176487 ×10−19 C as the charge of an electron.

What is the formula for instant velocity when I have time and distance?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

v(t)= (d/dt)x(t)

Explanation:

The instantaneous velocity of an object is the limit of the average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero, or the derivative of x with respect to t. Like average velocity, instantaneous velocity is a vector with dimension of length per time. The instantaneous velocity at a specific time point  t 0  is the rate of change of the position function, which is the slope of the position function  

x ( t ) at  t 0 .
