I vs V - Varying Intensity

A water drop ...

Question

A water drop of mass $3.2 \times 10^{- 18}$ kg and carrying a charge of $1.6 \times 10^{- 19}$ C is suspended stationary between two plates of an electric field. Given $g = 10$ $m / s^{2}$ , the intensity of the electric field required is

Solution

The correct option is B $200 V / m$
Force in electric field
$F = q E$
and $F = m g$ (By gravitation)
$S o, m g = q E$ (for equilibrium)

$E = \frac{m g}{q}$

$= \frac{3.2 \times 10^{- 18} \times 10}{1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}$

$= 200 V / m$
