0 0

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.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

the portion of electromagnetic spectrum is occupied by signal is called ​bandwidth

Explanation:

Bandwidth is the part of electromagnetic spectrum which is occupied by the signal. It is also called as the range  of frequency over which the receiver or any other electronic circuit works. Bandwidth is the amount of the data been transmitted  from one point to other within the network in the specific amount of the time. It is expressed as the bit rate and are measured as bits per seconds (bps). Bandwidth is the sum of the connections.

A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.
