Millikan Oil Drop Experiment for Physics Lab - This experiment aims at
measuring the charge of an electron and is perhaps the most basic of all
atomic physics or modern physics laboratory experiments. It won
Millikan the Nobal Prize in the year 1923. The experiment depends on the
ability to control, measure and balance very small force of the order
10-14N. The set-up consists of two horizontal parallel plates separated
by about 5mm. The upper plate has a small hole through which microscopic
oil droplets are sprayed in between the two plates with the help of an
atomizer which is like a common perfume sprayer. These droplets get
charged due to the frictional force during spraying. The free fall of
these droplets in the space between the plates is observed in the
gravitational field. A measurement of the velocity of fall along with
the use of Stokes law leads to the calculation of the mass of the
droplets and their radii if the oil density is known. These are of the
order of 10-15kg and 10-6m respectively. By applying a potential
difference between the plates, a uniform electric field is produced in
the space between the plates. A measurement of the velocity of the
negatively charged droplets rising in the electric field allows a
calculation of the electric force on the droplets and hence the charge
carried by them. In the experiment the droplets which rise and fall
slowly are selected as they are expected to have a fairly small charge.
These droplets are made to rise and fall several times. The repetitions
of measurement of the velocities of rise and fall reduce the random
error of their means. A fairly large number of droplets are observed and
their charges are calculated. The analysis of the data on the total
charge carried by the droplets shows that these total charges are
integral multiples of a certain smallest charge which is the charge of
an electron. This result also shows that the charge is quantized.
The measurement of the charge on the electron can lead to the
calculation of Avogadro’s number. The charge F (the Faraday) required to
electro-deposit one gram equivalent of an element on an electrode
during electrolysis is equal to the charge of the electron multiplied by
the number of molecules in a mole. The Faraday has been found to be F =
9.625 107 coulombs per kilogram equivalent weight. Hence Avogadro’s
number N = F/e
Apparatus
The present set-up consists of
1. A oil drop chamber mounted on top of the panel. It has
(i) A pair of horizontal parallel plate electrodes separated by about 5
mm thick ebonite ring with a hole for viewing the oil droplets.
(ii) The upper plate has a small hole in its centre for the admission of
the droplets which are produces by spraying oil with an atomizer.
(iii) A device to illuminate the space between the plate electrodes.
2. Three leveling screws at the base of the panel to make the parallel
plate electrodes perfectly horizontal (perpendicular to the
gravitational field) and a water-level placed on top of the panel to
check it.
3. A microscope with CCD camera head to view and transmit image of oil
droplets between the plate electrodes to the monitor.
4. A power pack to supply continuously variable voltage in the range 0 –
800 V to the upper plate electrode when the electric field is to be
created between the plates. The lower plate is permanently grounded.
5. A digital voltmeter to measure the potential applied to the upper
plate.
6. A ‘Time Meter’ to display the time for which the oil droplet is
allowed to move.
7. A timing device to measure time interval between the passage of
droplets through preset points. There are two keys to operate this
device. Pressing the ‘Clear’ key, wipes out the time information. This
is like a reset key. The time meter now reads ‘00.0’ sec. Pressing the
‘Start/Stop’ key starts the timing device. Pressing it again stops the
device. The elapsed time can be read on the meter.
8. A monitor with graduated screen. The horizontal lines on the monitor
screen help in setting the distance through which the droplets move.
9. An atomizer to spray droplets.
10. A thermometer to measure the room temperature.
Method
Time for free-fall of the droplets under gravity between the preset
points is measured to obtain the velocity for free-fall. For observing
the effect of the electric field on the charge carried by the droplets,
there are two alternatives. In the Dynamic method, the velocity for the
vertical upword motion is measured for a fixed potential difference. In
the Balancing method, the potential difference between the plates is
adjusted to balance the droplets.
The result of this set-up are within 5% of the standard value.
