The important conclusion given by Millikan's experiment about the charge is
- A. Charge is never quantised
- B. Charge has no definite value
- C. Charge is quantised
- D. Charge on an oil drop always increases
Step-by-step solution
Millikan's oil drop experiment measured the charge on individual oil drops and found that the charges were always integer multiples of a fundamental unit (1.6×10^-19 C), demonstrating that electric charge is quantized.
