Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus
Supertek’s Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus is a contemporary version of the classic design which allows the students to observe the velocity of an oil drop rising and falling in an electric filed. The apparatus is equipped with camera which allows the user to connect it with the computer screen for an easy viewing of the droplets. It permits the calculation of the force acting on the charge carried by the oil drop.

Accessories
Optical Bench
A versatile and modular system that can be utilized across many experiments. The optical bench has three core parts: Rail, Mounts, and Uprights. All the core parts have been designed in such a way that they are suitable for multiple types of experiments.
KEY FEATURES
- Excellent stability and easy set-up of the optical bench – Mounts can be fixed to the rail by just aligning and sliding two screws into the rail and fastened. The uprights can be placed and fastened at any desired position with ease
- Height adjustable mounts – The optical bench is designed with three-point mounts, with two of their height adjustable and lockable with a range of 20 mm. The height adjustment gives precision in maintaining the horizontal axis of the bench. The mount bases are rubber padded to avoid sliding the optical bench on the lab benches.
- Anti-rotation square holders on the uprights (Patent Pending) – The optical bench uprights are designed with square holders and square shafts for holding accessories. One of the major needs in optical experiments is to maintain the alignment of accessories. More often, the accessory holder is susceptible to rotation. Square shafts ensure the anti-rotation of the accessories and make experimenting hassle-free. It also avoids any kind of lateral bend or movement of the accessories.
- All parts are scratch-resistant and the movement of uprights on the rail is seamless.

Photoconductivity Experiment
Objectives
To study the photoconductivity of CdS Photoresistor, in the following conditions:
- Applied voltage vs photocurrent (IPH) at constant irradiance (Φ).
- Photocurrent (IPH) vs irradiance (Φ) at a constant applied voltage (V).
Principle
The phenomenon of photoconductivity occurs when an incident light shown upon a semiconductor causes an increase in its electrical conductivity. This is because of the excitation of electrons across the energy gap into the conduction band, which leads to an increase in the number of free carriers in the conduction band, hence, an increase in the conductivity of the semiconductor. Here, we can study the characteristics of the CdS photoresistor under different conditions of light intensity and applied voltage.
KEY FEATURES
- Precise Optical Alignment: The optical alignment of the components is attained by the optical bench, the set-up time is faster and experimentation is easy.
- Fine and Easy Light Intensity Adjustment: Light intensity adjustment is done via the use of two polarizers. This helps in easier and fine light intensity adjustments.
- Simple and Easy Connections: The color-coded terminals on the various components aid in the ease of connections thus reducing the setup time.
