In this problem, we will go through the famous experiment led by Robert A. Millikan. The charge of the electron that he calculated by this experiment is 0.6% off from the currently accepted value, that too due to the imprecise value of viscosity of air known at the time. This experiment demonstrates that the electric charge of the oil droplet is some integer multiple of electron charge - thereby establishing charge quantization as an experimental fact. It's a free-body diagram. Here, we depict an oil droplet that is falling downwards due to gravity in an air medium. The droplet experiences an upward force due to air friction.
