Chapter 1, Problem 1.114CHP
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:
| Droplet number | Charge (C) |
| 1 | 7.74 × 10−16 |
| 2 | 4.42 × 10−16 |
| 3 | 2.21 × 10−16 |
| 4 | 4.98 × 10−16 |
| 5 | 6.64 × 10−16 |
- (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)? If so, what is the new largest value for the blorvek’s charge?
