P4-51: MILLIKAN OIL DROP MODEL
- ID Code: P4-51
- Purpose: Demonstrate geometry for the Millikan oil drop experiment.
- Description: This is a non-working model to illustrate the geometry of the Millikan experiment. A helium balloon tethered to the lower plate represents the oil drop. The plates are charged by the Wimshurst machine to create the electric force on the charged oil drop.
