1 This question is about the experiment to measure the charge on an electron performed by
American physicists Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in the early years of the twentieth
century.
Consider the forces on an oil drop falling at terminal velocity through air, as shown in Fig. 1.1.
D
W
Fig. 1.1
(a) Ignoring any upthrust forces, state why the drag force D must be equal and opposite to the
weight W of the drop when it is falling at terminal velocity.
(b) The drag force is given by the equation D = 6πηairrv where r is the radius of the oil drop and
v is the terminal velocity. The symbol ηair represents the viscosity of air; this is a measure of
the resistance that air has to the motion of objects in it.
Show that the terminal velocity of a drop of mass 1.8 × 10–15 kg is about 7 × 10–5 m s–1. The
buoyancy of air may be ignored.
