  • question_answer
    In Millikans experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.64 am and density \[0.85\,\,g/c{{m}^{3}}\] is suspended when a downward electric field of \[1.9\times {{10}^{5}}\,N/C\] is applied. What is the charge on the drop in terms of e?

    A)  -9e                       

    B)  -7e   

    C)  -5e   

    D)  -3e

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The given,                 \[r=1.64\mu m=1.64\times {{10}^{-6}}m\], \[\rho =0.85\times {{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}},E=1.9\times {{10}^{5}}N/C\] and                 \[g=9.8\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\because \]     \[E=\frac{f}{q}\Rightarrow E=\frac{mg}{q}\]                 \[m=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}.\,\rho \]                 \[q=\frac{mg}{E}\]                 \[q=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}.\,\rho \,.\,g}{E}\] \[q=\frac{4\times 3.14\times {{(1.64\times {{10}^{-6}})}^{3}}\times 0.85\times {{10}^{3}}\times 9.8}{3\times 1.9\times {{10}^{5}}}\]                 \[q=\frac{461.49\times {{10}^{-20}}}{5.7}C\]                 \[q=-\frac{461.49\times {{10}^{-20}}}{5.7\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}e\]                 \[q=-\frac{461.49\times {{10}^{-1}}}{9.12}e\]                 \[=-50.6\times {{10}^{-1}}e=-5.0\,e=-5\,e\]
