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- silentcoder

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- silentcoder

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...- silentcoder

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?- silentcoder

Is My Momentum Lab Chart Correct?
Hi, I have to do a lab simulation and fill out information in a chart. The lab simulates two pucks hitting with each other. It is suppose to be a momentum lab. I have filled most of the chart but am not sure if its correct. So I would like you to verify it. Plz and TY These are the only...- silentcoder
