Answer:

True

Explanation:

The oil drop experiment was carried out by Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to determine the charge of an electron. By balancing downward gravitation force with upward drag and electric force, they suspended small charged droplets of oil between two metal electrodes.

The charge over an oil droplet was often an integral value of e, was determined by changing the intensity of the electric field.

So, the given statement is true

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will
GaryK [48]
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
