    The important conclusion given by Millikan's experiment about the charge is

    A)  charge is never quantized

    B)  charge has no definite value

    C)  charge is quantized

    D)  charge on oil drop always increases

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Millikan found that the values of charge q for different oil drops were always in multiple of a common value e, ie, q = ne, where n is an integer. From large number of observations, it was found that the common factor electronic charge \[e=1.602\times {{10}^{-19}}C\]is always obtained with charge. Hence, charge is quantized.
