does anyone know of ANY experiment that uses circuit to find charge of an electron? If so, do you have link? I'm trying to figure out how it would work in essence. any input would be great.

tried that didn't get me anywhere
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the charge of an electron by using a circuit and measuring the voltage and current.
The materials needed for this experiment include a power source, wires, resistors, an ammeter, a voltmeter, and a circuit board.
The circuit should be set up with the power source connected to the circuit board, and the ammeter and voltmeter connected in series with a resistor. The voltage and current should be measured at different points in the circuit to determine the electron charge.
The expected result of the experiment is to obtain a value for the electron charge that is close to the accepted value of 1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs.
Potential sources of error in this experiment include inaccurate measurements, resistance in the wires, and external factors such as temperature or electromagnetic interference.
