Homework Statement



I need to design an experiment to find the charge of an electron. And I have no idea how. Could somebody give an idea on what I could do?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You could try Google and search for experiment to measure charge on electron.
You will probably get plenty of references to Robert Millikan. That could be a good starting point.
 
I need experiment that has not be done already. Something similar to Millikan but not the same.
