Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of oil drop experimental equipment, specifically to a Millikan oil drop experimental apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] The Millikan oil drop experiment is a classic experiment in physics for measuring the amount of elementary electric charge, and it is widely used in university physics teaching and research. Its experimental principle is to observe the motion of a charged oil droplet in an electric field, calculate its charge, and thus verify the quantization properties of electric charge.

[0003] Existing Millikan oil drop experiment apparatuses typically include an oil drop box, electrode plates, a spray device, and an observation system. In practical use, oil droplets tend to accumulate inside the apparatus, especially on the inner wall of the oil drop box, the electrode plates, and surrounding structures. Long-term accumulation not only affects the uniformity of the electric field distribution but also interferes with the droplet trajectory, leading to increased experimental error. Furthermore, traditional apparatuses are complex in structure, inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and extremely difficult to clean accumulated oil, impacting experimental efficiency and repeatability.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a Millikan oil drop experimental apparatus that is structurally sound, easy to disassemble and clean, and can effectively collect oil droplets, in order to solve the problems of difficult oil droplet accumulation and inconvenient maintenance in the existing technology.
