JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 24th June Morning Shift - No. 8)

A vertical electric field of magnitude 4.9 $$\times$$ 105 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/s2)

1.6 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$9 C
2.0 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$9 C
3.2 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$9 C
0.5 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$9 C

Explanation

Since the droplet is at rest

$$\Rightarrow$$ Net force = 0

$$\Rightarrow$$ mg = qE

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$q = {{mg} \over E}$$ = 2 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$9 C
