In Millikan's oil drop experiment, what is viscous force acting on an uncharged drop of radius 2.0 $\times$ 10$-$5 m and density 1.2 $\times$ 103 kgm$-$3 ? Take viscosity of liquid = 1.8 $\times$ 10$-$5 Nsm$-$2. (Neglect buoyancy due to air).
Solution
Viscous force = Weight<br><br>$= \rho \times \left( {{4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}} \right)g$<br><br>= 3.9 $\times$ 10<sup>$-$10</sup>
