Question

In Millikan's experiment for the determination of the charge on the electron, the reason for using the oil is

  1. It is a lubricant    
  2. Its density is higher    
  3. It vapourises easily    
  4. It does not vapourise    

The correct answer is: It does not vapourise


    In Millikan's experiment, drops of non-volatile liquid (cloak oil) are used to prevent evaporation.
