    The magnitude of electric field E required to balance an oil drop of mass m, carrying charge q is (g = acceleration due to gravity)

    A)  \[\frac{q}{m}\]

    B)  \[\frac{mg}{{{q}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[mgq\]

    D)  \[\frac{mg}{q}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    To balance the oil drop the electric force should be equal to the weight of the oil drop. ie,          \[qE=mg\] or \[E=\frac{mg}{q}\]
