Determine the total charge that an oil drop would possess if it holds the same total number of electrons as a sodium atom.
The Oil Drop Experiment helped with determining the fundamental charge of the electron.
Concept #1: Millikan Oil Drop Experiment
Example #1: The fundamental charge of an electron is –1.60 x 10-19 C. If a scientist determines the charge to mass ratio of an electron is –1.76 x 108 C per gram, what would be the total mass of an electron?
Determine the total charge that an oil drop would possess if it holds the same total number of electrons as a sodium atom.
