    A liquid drop having 6 excess electrons is kept stationary under a uniform electric field of \[25.5{{\operatorname{KVm}}^{-1}}\]. The density of liquid is\[1.26\times {{10}^{3}}\]. The radius of the drop is (neglect buoyancy) [JEE ONLINE 23-04-2013]

    A)             \[4.3\times {{10}^{-7}}\operatorname{m}\]

    B) \[7.8\times {{10}^{-7}}\operatorname{m}\]

    C)             \[0.078\times {{10}^{-7}}\operatorname{m}\]

    D) \[3.4\times {{10}^{-7}}\operatorname{m}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[F=qE=mg(q=6e=6\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}})\]
    Density [d] \[=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}=\frac{m}{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}}\]or\[{{r}^{3}}=\frac{m}{\frac{4}{3}\pi d}\]
    Putting the value of d and\[m\left( =\frac{qE}{g} \right)\]and solving we get \[r=7.8\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]
