Question

Suppose that in a hypothetical oil-drop experiment you measure the following values for the charges on the drops: 3.87times 10 ^-19 C, 6.45 times 10^-19 C, 2.58 times 10^-19C, 1.0 times 10^-18 C, and 9.03 times 10^-19 C. What is the largest value of the fundamental unit of charge that is consistent with your measurements? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Incorrect; Try Again; 2 attempts remaining Not quite. Check through your calculations: you may have made a rounding error or used the wrong number of significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

here given charges are 3.87*10-19C , 6.45*10-19C , 2.58*10-19C , 10.3*10-19C , 9.03*10-19C

we can see that 10.3 - 9.03 = 1.27

9.03 - 6.45 = 2.58 = 2x1.27

6.45 - 3.87 = 2.58 = 2x1.27

3.87 - 2.58 = 1.27 the charges are quantizied by an amount of 1.27*10-19C
