Robert Millikan is about to come up with a new experiment that changes J.J Thomson's model.

| Millikan, how are you planning on making a better experiment than my plum pudding model? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Well Thomson, your model shows that an atom is made of electrons that are surrounded by positive charges. Mine will determine the actual charge of the electron. | |

Millikan begins his experiment...

Finally his experiment was done!

| I call it the Oil Drop Experiment! There is a chamber with a postive plate on the top and a negative one on the bottom. It works by seeing what plate the oil droplets move toward. | |
