Millikan and collaborators measured charges on suspended droplets and found them in integer multiples of an elementary charge, enabling a precision value of .
wp-physics-millikan_oil_drop_experimentnist-historical-constantsEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Droplet charges clustered at integer multiples of a common unit.
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.

Combined with charge-to-mass measurements, the oil-drop result fixed the electron’s charge and mass scale.
