This experiment's results were deemed fraudulent by Gerard Holton; current measurements that put its results off by about one percent mean that its calculations were five standard deviations off. Its setup involved two parallel metal plates through which an (*) electric field could be created and turned on and off rapidly, allowing isolation and measure of terminal velocity. From there, Stokes' Law was used to figure out the weight. For 10 points, name this experiment that measured the charge of an electron.
