Correct Answer: Magnetostatic


Solution : The correct option is Magnetostatic.

In Millikan's Oil Drop experiment, forces acting on the oil drop don't include magnetostatic forces. The experiment primarily involves electrostatic forces, specifically Coulomb's law, to measure the charge on the oil droplets. The experiment focuses on electrical forces acting on the charged oil drops, along with viscous drag from the surrounding air.
