Millikan's oil-drop experiment to measure the charge of the electron. Small drops of oil are allowed to fall between electrically charged plates. The drops pick up extra electrons as a result of irradiation by X-rays and so became negatively charged. Millikan measured how varying the voltage between the plates affected the rate of fall. From these data he calculated the negative charge on the drops. Because the charge on any drop was always some integral multiple of 1.602×10−19C, Millikan deduced this value to be the charge of a single electron. Would the masses of the oil drops be changed significantly by any electrons that accumulate on them?
The masses of the oil drops cannot be changed significantly by any electrons that accumulate on them.
