In a re-creation of the Millikan oil drop experiment, the charges of numerous oil drops were measured in special units called Rutgers units (ru). The following charges were measured for 4 drops: 8.020 ru 4.812 ru 6.416 ru 11.23 ru Based on the above data, determine the charge of a single electron in Rutgers units. Enter only the numerical portion of your answer rounded to 4 significant figures in decimal notation. Answer: Enter Value ru
