The Millikan Oil-Drop Experiment - Boston University Physics

experimental measurement of e, using charged water droplets, coming up with around 3 x 10-10 e.s.u. In 1900 J.J. Thompson used the Townsend method to get a value of 6 x 10-10 e.s.u. for e. H.S. Wilson then improved upon the water-droplet method by looking at charged water droplets
