Homework Statement
in a millikan type apparatus, the horizontal plates are 2 cm apart. with the field switched off, an oil drop is observed to fall with a steady velocity of 2 x 10^-4 m/s. when the field is on, the upper plate being positive and the drop just remains stationary when the pd between two plates is 1150 v
a/ calculate the radius of the oildrop
b/ how many electrons charges does it carry
Homework Equations
a/ w=fd
m g = 6 phi η r v
b/ fe = w
q Δv/d = m g
The Attempt at a Solution
a/ i don't understand how much is m, and η
it is not mention in the question. what should i do? where should i put V?
b/how much is m?
