In this problem, we will go through the famous experiment led by Robert A. Millikan. The charge of elctron that he calculated by this experiment is 0.6% off from the currently accepted value, that too due to imprecise value of viscosity of air known at the time. This experiment demonstrates that the electric charge of the oil droplet is some integer multiple of electron charge - thereby establishing charge quantization as an experimental fact.
