For Specific charge of the electron, which option best applies turning-point evidence to Describe how fields can be used to determine charge-to-mass ratio.?.
- A.Use the Millikan oil-drop argument: quantised charge is inferred from repeated droplet charge values, so the answer tests charge quantisation.
- B.Use a classical formula label without connecting it to the experimental evidence.
- C.Describe the apparatus only and omit the physical conclusion drawn from the result.
- D.Treat the effect as ordinary circuit behaviour rather than a turning-point physics idea.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct option is Use the Millikan oil-drop argument: quantised charge is inferred from repeated droplet charge values, so the answer tests charge quantisation.
Explanation
Why this works
It is correct because it links the named experiment or model change to the physical evidence and conclusion. The other options are incorrect because they quote a formula without interpretation, describe apparatus without the conclusion, or reduce the turning-point idea to ordinary circuit or force behaviour.
