An oil drop carrying a chargeqhas a massmkg. It is falling freely in air with terminal speedv. The electric field required to make the drop move upwards with the same speed is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

QV = 4 3 π r 3 ρ g

When the oil drop is falling freely under the effect of gravity is a viscous medium with terminal speedv,then

mg=6π η r v...(i)

To move the oil drop upward with terminal velocityvifEis the electric field intensity applied, the

Eq=mg+6πηrv=mg+mg=2mg
