    Can Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment Accurately Measure the Elementary Charge?

    This is the simulator i used to obtain my data: http://amrita.vlab.co.in/repo/PHY/MPY/Millikan-Oil-Drop/MillikansOilDrop_Simulation.html?linktoken=cae2f378fc729601e847e89adabd942e

    Can Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment Accurately Measure the Elementary Charge?

    Homework Statement Hi, I had to calculate the charge of an oil drop using a lab simulation Homework Equations q = mgd/v The Attempt at a Solution This is the result i came up with: The charges are not multiple of 1.6x10^-19 C. How can i fix this? Thanks

    Calculating Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges in a Magnetic Field

    The formula will be F = ILB SinƟ This is what I get: F = ILB sin 90 12 N = (7.0 A)(6.0 m)B sin 90 12 N/(7.0 A)(6.0 m) = B sin 90 2/7 = B sin 90 B = 2/7 T B = 0.29 T

    Need Double Check on a question

    SammyS, after your suggestions I get the following answers: 1. Resultant = 0.19 N[19 degrees above horizontal] 2. Electric Field Strength: 2.9x10^2 N/C [WHAT WILL BE THE DIRECTION?] 3. Is this correct? Pe = k(qa qb / rab + qa qc / rac + qb qc / rbc) Pe = (9x10^9)(2x10^-6 * 4x10^-6 / 1...

    How to Determine Velocity and Maximum Compression of a Pendulum-Spring System

    For number 1: sqrt(2gh) = v sqrt(2(9.81)(1.5 - 1.5 cos 15)) v = 1.0 m/s For number 2: 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 ke^2 mv^2 = ke^2 e^2 = mv^2 / k e^2 = (1.0 kg)(1 m/s)^2 / 750 N/m e^2 = 1/750 e = sqrt(1/750) e = 0.036 m is this right?

    Double Check My Answers: Calculating Projectile Motion with Initial Velocity

    for 2.(a) I did: vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad 0 m/s = (21 m/s)^2 + s(-9.8 m/s^2)d 0 m/s = (441 m/s) - (19.6 m/s^2) d 0 - 441 m/s = -19.6 m/s^2 d -441m/s / -19.6 m/s^2 = d d = 22.5 m since ur throwing the ball from a height of 1m: 22.5m + 1m =...
