Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment, MOD-01 (LED TV)

Setup Supplied with the following:

  • An oil drop chamber mounted on top of the panel. It has
    • A pair of horizontal parallel plate electrodes separated by about 5 mm thick ebonite ring with a hole for viewing the oil droplets.
    • The upper plate has a small hole in its center for the admission of the droplets which are produced by spraying oil with an atomizer.
    • A device to illuminate the space between the plate electrodes.
  • 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.
  • A microscope with CCD camera heads to view and transmit the image of oil droplets between the plate electrodes to the monitor.
  • A digital voltmeter to measure the potential applied to the upper plate.
  • A ‘Time Meter’ to display the time for which the oil droplet is allowed to move.
  • A timing device to measure the time interval between the passage of droplets through pre-set points between the plate electrodes. 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.
