Construction of an experimental device using simple materials based on the central idea of Millikan’s experimental setup, which he used to calculate the electron’s charge and the quantization of electric charge.Real time display of the movement of charged particles under the influence of their weight, of the electric field, of viscosity and air buoyancy. Using Newton’s law we can calculate a subatomic constant, the electron’s charge and through this we can then calculate the electron’s mas.
