    From the following, what charges can be present on oil drops in Millikan's experiment                   [MP PET 1995]

    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)            \[1.5e,\ e\] (Here e is the electronic charge)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               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.
