From 1909 to 1913, Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1953) performed a brilliant set of experiements in which he measured the elementary charge of the electron (e) and demonstrated the quatized nature of the electrical charge. The apparatus he used is shown in the figure 1 on the left. The apparatus contains two parallel metal plates with a hole in the upper plate through which the oil-droplets passes.
