Value. 1.602 176 634 × 10−19 C [1] The elementary charge, usually denoted by e, is a fundamental physical constant, defined as the electric charge carried by a single proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of the negative electric charge carried by a single electron, which has charge −1 e. [2] [a]
1. the mass of a water droplet (actually the average mass of many) 2. the total electric charge carried on all the droplets (this was done by absorbing the water into an acid and measuring the charge picked up.) 3. the velocity of the droplet 4. the total mass of all water droplets (found by measuring the acid's increase in weight)
29. März 2021 · One example: Millikan measured the charge on an electron by an experiment with falling oil drops, and got an answer which we now know not to be quite right. It's a little bit off because he had the incorrect value for the viscosity of air. It's interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of an electron, after Millikan. If ...
Electron charge, (symbol e), fundamental physical constant expressing the naturally occurring unit of electric charge, equal to 1.602176634 × 10−19 coulomb. In addition to the electron, all freely existing charged subatomic particles thus far discovered have an electric charge equal to this value.

Electrons have an electric charge of −1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 coulombs, which is used as a standard unit of charge for subatomic particles, and is also called the elementary charge. Within the limits of experimental accuracy, the electron charge is identical to the charge of a proton, but with the opposite sign. [80]
The quantity of electric charge can be directly measured with an electrometer, or indirectly measured with a ballistic galvanometer . The elementary charge (the electric charge of the proton) is defined as a fundamental constant in the SI. [7]
2. Apr. 2024 · Charge thus exists in natural units equal to the charge of an electron or a proton, a fundamental physical constant. A direct and convincing measurement of an electron’s charge , as a natural unit of electric charge, was first made (1909) in the Millikan oil-drop experiment .
