How did Millikan's oil drop experiment lead to quantum nature of electric charge?​

Physics
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Millikan's oil drop experiment proved that electric charge is quantized.

At the time, there was still great debate whether electric charge was continuous or not.

Millikan believed that there was a smallest unit of charge, and he set out to prove it.

This was the big result of the oil drop experiment.

That he could also determine the charge of the electron was a secondary benefit.

This was probably one of the most significant experiments ever carried out.

Bulky is working at a UPS loading dock. He boasts he can lift a 154 kg box 4 meters in 30
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Power is 200 W

Explanation: Power P = work done / time used.

P = W/t = mgh/t = 154 kg · 9.81 m/s²· 4 m / 30 s = 201 W

You have a distance and a time so you can work out the bikes speed which would be distance/time so 40mph.

What is electricity
fgiga [73]
Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. Hope this helped. ;)

Could someone answer this?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Here the circuit in which a 4Ω resistor resistor is connected in series and two 8Ω resistor resistors are connected in parallel. Also, ammeter and voltmeter connected in series and parallel circuit respectively.

Now,

The maximum power of each resistance is 16 W

The 4Ω resistor is linked in series with the circuit.

so, P o w e r = I

two

R, here i is the current through the resistor resistor R

1 6 = I

two

∗ 4 Ω

i = 2A

Now 2A passes through parallel resistors of 8Ω resistance.

we know that, in parallel, the potential difference must be constant,

the current is divided into two parts, because the same resistance current in each resistance will be half. then the current through each resistor in parallel is

2 A

two

.

= 1 A

So finally the current through the 4Ω resistor = 2 A

current through each 8Ω resistor = 1 A

Explanation:

I hope this answer has helped you
