This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers Millikan’s famous Oil Drop experiment where he determined the absolute charge, the charge on an electron
This PowerPoint explains the experiment that he performed, along with the calculations needed. There are ideas for extending the lesson to include all four forces (drag, buoyancy, gravity and electric) that Millikan had to do.
As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional Turning Points in Physics unit 9 for AQA (Lesson 4 of 13)
