Question 362: Electrostatics & Capacitance

Question

A vertical electric field of magnitude 4.9 $$	imes$$ 10
5
N/C just prevents a water droplet of a mass 0.1 g from falling. The value of charge on the droplet will be :
(Given : g = 9.8 m/s
2
)

Accepted Answer

Since the droplet is at rest
$$\Rightarrow$$ Net force = 0
$$\Rightarrow$$ mg = qE
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$q = {{mg} \over E}$$ = 2 $$	imes$$ 10

Electrostatics & Capacitance

A vertical electric field of magnitude 4.9 $\times$ 10 5 N/C just prevents a water droplet of a mass 0.1 g from falling. The value of charge on the droplet will be : (Given : g = 9.8 m/s 2 )
