Journal Article
A Millikan Oil Drop Analogy
1996
Overview
The Millikan Oil Drop Experiment is frequently encountered in historical surveys of atomic theory presented during general chemistry courses, but is often not well understood by freshmen. As an aid to understanding, an analogy is drawn between the manner in which the charge on a single electron is deduced from the total charge on an oil drop, and a rather peculiar pricing system in a surreal candy store.
