- An oil drop of 10 excess electrons is held stationary under a constant electric field 5x 104 V/m in a Millikan's oil drop experiment. The density of oil is 1.4 x 103 kg/m?.

With N=130 and R=0.15 What is the velocity of the electrons at 100 V, assuming the known charge and mass of the electron from the accepted universal constants that are the basis of SI units? Hints: Do a classical calculation of the kinetic of the electon assuming you know its mass (in kg) and its charge (in coulomb). That will be 1/2 mv2. Equate that to the energy of the electron gained by accelerating in the electric field, that is, eV where "e" is the charge and "V" is the difference potential in volts. Solve for "v", the velocity. Enter your answer in km/s, 103 m/s, without units. It is best to enter only a number, without an "e". For example, if you found 2000 m/s you would enter "2" for the velocity in km/s.
