From the following, what charges can be present on oil drops in Millikan's experiment

(Here e is the electronic charge)

A

Zero, equal to the magnitude of charge on $\alpha - $ particle

B

$2e,\;1.6 \times {10^{ - 18}}C,$

C

$1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}C,\;2.5e$

D

$1.5e,\;e$

Solution

(b) In Millikan’s experiment, the charges present on the oil drops are the integral multiples, so $2e$ and $10e(1.6 \times {10^{ – 18}}C)$ charges are present.
