Millikan's oil drop experiment for the determination of charge on an electron.

Charge on Electron by Oil Drop Experiment

In 1897, the experiment of J. J. Thomson precisely determined the charge to mass (e/m) ratio for an electron. In 1909, Robert A Millikan conducted an experiment known as “oil-drop experiment” to determine the charge (e) on an electron. He…
