Millikan Apparatus
Product Code : JL-LE-10492
The Millikan Apparatus (SKU JL-LE-10492, Cat. No. JSS-302/021) measures the elementary charge and shows that electric charge comes in whole-number units. Its whole-plate electrode chamber gives a uniform field that can be reversed, and a high-intensity LED lights the particles, here 1 micrometre latex spheres held in suspension. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
