Question

A water drop of mass 3.2×1018 kg and carrying a charge of 1.6×1019C is suspended stationary between two plates of an electric field. Given g=10 m/s2, the intensity of the electric field required is
  1. 2V/m
  2. 200V/m
  3. 20V/m
  4. 2000V/m

A
2V/m
B
200V/m
C
20V/m
D
2000V/m
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Force in electric field
F=qE
and F=mg (By gravitation)
So,mg=qE (for equilibrium)

E=mgq

=3.2×1018×101.6×1019

=200V/m
