Millikan Lab Summary
Lab Partner: Boleszek
Essential lab procedures were takne from the manual for the PASCO scientific Model AP-8210 "Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus" which can be found online here: 8210 Manual.pdf
Purpose
To reproduce a measurement of the charge of an electron
Procedure
It was not actually that difficult to observe a change in the charge once we were familiar with the apparatus.
Calculations
Methods for calculating the charge are well documented in the apparatus manual pages 2 and 9. These techniques were used without modification.
Atmospheric pressure data was aquired once per day
Viscosity of air was calculated with the help of an online viscosity calculator
