JEE Main2013PhysicsElectrostaticsActual
A liquid drop having 6 excess electrons is kept stationary under a uniform electric field of 25.5 kVm ⁻¹ . The density of liquid is 1.26 10^3 ~kg ~m ⁻³ . The radius of the drop is (neglect buoyancy).
Options
- A4.3 10⁻⁷ ~m
- B7.8 10⁻⁷ ~m
- C0.078 10⁻⁷ ~m
- D3.4 10⁻⁷ ~m
Correct answer
B. 7.8 10⁻⁷ ~m
Step-by-step solution
F = qE =m g ( q =6 e =6 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ ) Density ( d )= mass volume = m 4 3 r ^3 or r^3= m 4 3 d Putting the value of d and m (= q E g ) and solving we get r =7.8 10⁻⁷ ~m
