Electric chargeMillikan oil-drop experiment

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Droplet charges clustered at integer multiples of a common unit.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

Relation sources

Electric chargePhoton field

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Electric charge is the source/generator coupling to the photon field.

How to interpret this relation type

The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.
