Question
In an alternate universe, the smallest negatively charged particle, analogous to our electron, is called a blorvek. To determine the charge on a single blorvek, an experiment like Millikan's with charged oil droplets was carried out and the following results were recorded:
A) Based on these observations, what is the largest possible value for the charge on a blorvek?
B) Further experiments found a droplet with a charge of 5.81×10^16 C. Does this new result change your answer to part (a)?
C) What is the new largest value for the blorvek's charge?
Droplet number Change (C) 1 7.74 x 10-16 2 4.42 x 10 16 3 2.21 x 10 16 4.98 x 10 16 6.64 x 10-16Explanation / Answer
a)
the largest value will be the droplet number 1, since it was the largest ,i.e. 7.74*10^-16
b)
Yes, it must be changed, since the actual vlaue is now 5.81*10^-16, this is a UNIQUE value and will NOT change. In our experiment, we shoudl have measured incorrectly or performed the experiment incorrectly
c)
The new larget value will be the set point of 5.81*10^-16 since it is a unique value
