Question #4:

Tiny droplets of oil acquire a small negative charge while dropping through a vacuum (pressure = 0) in an experiment. An electric field of magnitude 6.00  104 N/C points straight down.

(a) One particular droplet is observed to remain suspended against gravity. If the mass of the droplet is 3.75  10-12 kg, find the charge carried by the droplet.

 _____________C

(b) Another droplet of the same mass falls 8.4 cm from rest in 0.250 s, again moving through a vacuum. Find the charge carried by the droplet.

_____________ C

EXERCISE

Suppose a droplet of unknown mass remains suspended against gravity when Ey = -3.00  105 N/C. What is the minimum mass of the droplet? (Take the +y direction to be upward.)

____________ kg
