Solution

The correct option is A 3.21×104V/m
Answer is A.
Force in electric field
F=qE
Mass of water droplet
=fwV
=fw43πr3
=fw43π(d2)3
=1000×43×π×(1062)3
=1000×43×π×18×1018
=5.23×1016kg
So, gravitational force =mg
=5.23×1016×10
=5.23×1015N
Now, for equilibrium
qE= gravitational force
E=5.23×10151.6×1019 (electroncharge=1.6×1019C)
=3.21×104Vm
