By doing this experiment you will be testing electric charge carried by a particle may be calculated by measuring the force experienced by the particle in an electric field of known strength. Although this experiment will allow the total charge on a drop to be measured, it is only through an analysis of the data obtained and a certain degree of experimental skill that the charge of a single electron can be determined. Join us to test Millikan oil drop experiment.
Movement in magnetic field next to electrons under different voltages. Lorentz force and Biot-Sawart law for accelerating voltage and current values
Wave-like behavior of matter at small scales, Bragg’s Law for diffraction. Calculate interplanar separation for graphite using electron diffraction.
Electron discovered in 1897 by J. J. Thomson, in experiment on cathode rays. Measure the charge to mass ratio of the electron with this experiment.
Atoms exposed to electron bombardment gain energy and then lose this energy as radiation. This energy cannot take every value.
