In an oil-drop experiment a negatively charged oil drop has a mass of 3.0 x 10-15 kg and is held at rest between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 2.0 cm. The potential difference between the plates is 460 V. a) On the diagram below, show all the applied forces on the drop. Do not include the buoyant force of the air on the oil drop. b) What is the strength of the electric field between the plates?...
A negatively charged oil drop whose mass is 10-15 kg and
whose charge is -6.4 10-19 Coulombs remains stationary under the
influence of the Earth’s gravitational field and a uniform external
electric field made by two oppositely-charged parallel plates (see
diagram below). Ignore the influence of Earth’s electric field on
the oil drop.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the net
electric field created by the plates (not the electric field of the
oil drop !). Explain completely how you...
In a particular Millikan oil-drop apparatus, the plates are 2.25 cm apart. The oil used has a density of 0.830 g/cm3 , and the atomizer that sprays the oil drops produces drops of diameter 1.00×10−3 mm . A. What strength of electric field is needed to hold such a drop stationary against gravity if the drop contains five excess electrons? B. What should be the potential difference across the plates to produce this electric field? C. If another drop of...
An oil drop carrying seven excess electrons is suspended between two charged parallel plates. The plats are seperated by a distance of 2 cm, and there is a potential difference of 950 V between the plates. What is the sign of the charge on the lower plate? What is the weight of the suspended oil drop?

Question 3 (3 points) In a Millikan Oil-Drop type experiment, oil drops with an excess charge of two electrons are suspended between the two plates. If the mass of the oil drop is one million times the mass of the proton, and the plates are 2.5 cm apart, what is the voltage of the upper plate relative to that of the lower plate? Assume a uniform field between the two plates.
a) The potential difference between two parallel plates is 24.0 kV. The plates are 3.00 cm apart and are separated by air. What is the electric field between the plates? (Specify magnitude and direction.) b) If we take the negative plate to be at 0 V, what is the voltage at 0.5 cm away from this plate? Repeat for each increment of 0.5 cm between the plates. c) Draw a diagram of field lines and equipotential lines between the plates....
In the early 1900s, Robert Millikan used small charged droplets of oil, suspended in an electric field, to make the first quantitative measurements of the electron’s charge. A 0.74-μm-diameter droplet of oil, having a charge of +e+e, is suspended in midair between two horizontal plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. The upward electric force on the droplet is exactly balanced by the downward force of gravity. The oil has a density of 860 kg/m3, and the capacitor plates are 6.0 mm...
In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks at a small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage between the plates to be 2015 V, and the plate separation to be 1.98 cm. The oil drop (of density 0.810 g/cm3) has a diameter of 4.25 x 10-6 m. Find the charge (in C) on the drop. 2.508e-18 X What forces act on the oil-drop? How is the mass of the oil-drop related to the density of oil and the...
