A charged oil drop is suspended in uniform field of $3×10^4 V/m$, so that it neither falls nor rises. The charge on the drop will be (take the mass of the charge = $9.9 × 10^{-15} kg$ and $g = 10 m/s^2$) |
$3.3 × 10^{-18}C$ $3.2 × 10^{-18} C$ $1.6× 10^{-18} C$ $4.8 × 10^{-18} C$ |
$3.3 × 10^{-18}C$ |
$\text{Net Force on the oil drop is zero}$ $\Rightarrow qE = mg$ $\Rightarrow q = \frac{mg}{E} = \frac{9.9\times 10^{-15}\times 10}{3\times 10^4}= 3.3\times 10^{-18} C$ |
