Robert Millikan Eperiment!

[Rockas360]

Thanks dude this helped soooo much I got it, I mean even my college chem teacher couldn't help me understand it but you did thx sooo much XD!

[19perox05]

I wish my classes were as fun as this video... why it's always hv to be so formal n boring~

[KenzieLien24]

This video was shown to me and my physics class by our teacher... I LOVE this video!!!!

[vixvapourub]

great vid ! :D but if the oil droplet is falling at terminal velocity already there are no forces acting on it?

[kessinglandude]

@vixvapourub At terminal velocity there is no unbalanced force. There are the forces of weight; upthrust and viscous drag acting on the drop as it falls, but these all balance out to give no overall force.

[vixvapourub]

@kessinglandude that's exactly my point. If there are no unbalanced forces acting, why would you equate q.E, the force required to suspend the droplet, to mg?

[kessinglandude]

@vixvapourub The terminal velocity bit is when the droplet is falling. You don't equate Eq to mg in this part. This part is used to obtain a value for the radius of the drop as it cannot be obtained any other way. The radius is needed to calculate some of the other values needed to get the final value for the charge on the electron. This falling bit is only one part of the experiment. The other part is the 'holding still' bit. It's here that the weight and electrostatic forces are equal.

[kessinglandude]

@vixvapourub There ARE forces acting on it. One downward force (which is the weight) and two upward forces (viscous drag and upthrust). When the drop BEGINS to fall, these are unbalanced - there is much more downward force than upward - but eventually, as it speeds up, these become equal in size. So no UNBALANCED forces at this stage. Weight = drag + upthrust. As upthrust is negligible, weight= drag.

[vixvapourub]

@kessinglandude i meant no net forces sorry. but thanks, its clearer now

[CallumBerryman]

Haha made me laugh :D good vid mate :P

[Yaf3i1995]

hahaha cool video .... but doesnt explain alot :P ...i give it a 8/10 :P

[realpinkfan]

wow I didn't know physics could be cool xD thanks a lot :)

[skavacations]

fucking awesome, unfortunately my english is very poor, i didn't understand so much :c

[Main94]

We watched your video in my physics class. I keep re-watching it cause of the celebration at the end. Your video is really good :)

[100horacio]

jajajaja... Russell is awesome!!!! jajaja... bin bin, chic bin, chic....

[layfs]

It's great that people go to so much trouble to make stuff like this. I'm teaching about Millikan and things like this always help. Why do some people make negative comments about stuff like this? If you have to criticise make it positive (unlike the charge on an electron).

Thanks dukeuke.

[dukeuke]

@layfs You're a teacher?

[layfs]

@dukeuke Yes I am. Videos like yours are a help in teaching stuff we can't do the practical work for. So thanks for making the effort.

[mio68df]

Thanks dude....this was helpful, made me understand it better with humor lol

[shadowslayer1172]

thank u soo much!!

[ttopperr]

What the hell is "some formula" where more information about the name of the formula; you fail. We all live in a physics experiment.

[kmusicxx]

Dude thank you!

[vyncentzyx]

yo dude thanks for that video =D

[banana123456100]

NO CHINESE

[tatanhuilolos]

thanks now i understand it better¡¡¡¡¡

[mojorhythm]

Top job mate!

[nhb2722]

awesome ...helped me with the fundamental understanding of the millikan's experiment.. especially the inclusion of the qxE=mxg... keep the good work .

[Bmoore1349]

i typed this with my penis

[ttopperr]

@Bmoore1349 Im sorry you have penis fingers so you really do have hairy palms.

[Flaschenmann]

well done, but i had some understanding probs..:P

[OclaUvsoO]

tambien podrian traducirlo :(

[MrEngineershaheen11]

thanks

[krakspider]

nice animations :D

Keep it going!

5 star :)

[TaylorrBeann]

i loved it! helped me a lot(:

[kal3idosc0pe]

Thanx man this really helped!

[GooseGuyPros002]

that was awesome

[901hispano]

this is great! 5 stars!

[DiaboloPhat]

wooo this is good! keep it goin!

[xXAdventureLadXx]

this is so much better than some lame animation (the little flag on the oil droplet was the best)

[magenangi85]

it was very useful simple and interesting unlike a school teacher's lecture

[anitatruong]

so helpful. thanks buddy!

and good job too :D

creative, interesting, funny and cute

[jayemceerox]

also; love the dance at the end :)

actually, love all the lil animations x3

[jayemceerox]

highy useful, but spell 'experiment' right in the title and you might get more views ;)

[8462995]

Simple but really Informative... :D

[cordeburroquandofoge]

this animation is perfect :D

[ArjenDijksman]

Great animation, thanks for posting it!

[ultimatemusicfreak]

My teacher showed our whole Physics class after showing that boring one, and I think the whole class got it after that. Oh, the guy dancing made us all laugh. Thanks dude, you saved me from my last test. 100!!

[dukeuke]

hahaha Thanks! It's great to know that stupid little video is being put to good use lol

[wodkamilch]

great! used it for a school presentation

[Momiji101]

oh man thanks so much. i have a chem test tomorrow and i really didn't understand millikan's experiment! this helped alot!

[BnkHeadChck2009]

HAHA!!! We watched this in Honors Physics and I died laughing! This was AWESOME!!!

[dukeuke]

Your whole class watched it?

[BnkHeadChck2009]

Yep. The teacher found the video for us! We're discussing electric charge.

[dukeuke]

Kick ass!!

[mariethestarchoplin]

hey I'm gina, a student from germany, and your video will help me alot on my physics project tomorrow i hope !

thanks for posting this great video :)

[RaistlinM21]

Dude thanks alot I need to do a model for the 5th of december, that really helped alot :)

[germinotaur]

A little simple for my purposes, but nice for refreshing one's memory. You managed to compress the main ideas into 2 minutes. Great.

[MrMsChem]

well done young man!!!!

[ThePruductions]

that was hilarious!

[uchihaxxgirl]

dude. you saved me. everyone else had complicated language and no pictures. if i pass my chem project, i will love u forever XD

jk~

but you helped a lot thanks

[dukeuke]

No problem! I really didn't think it'd help anyone haha

[yoonsaena]

So gorgeous ! Robert Millikan Eperiment video aided me with writing physic report. So Thank you ^^

and picture is so cute ~

Thank you!

[TheDunc]

honestly, no joke, this video helped me on my Physics test. Thanks again, lol.

[dukeuke]

Haha

Dude, no problem! It was alot of fun to make.

[TheDunc]

wow, an easy to understand video which correctly explained the experiment.

well done.

[dukeuke]

Thanks :)
