(b) It can be shown that for Millikan's experiment, the charge Q, in Coulombs, on the test

droplet and the voltage V, in Volts, of the supply are related by the equation

where K is a constant derived from the properties of the droplet.

Table 2 shows results derived from a simulatedexperiment in which the charge on different

droplets and the correspondingbalance voltages were obtained.
