A spherical oil droplet with nine excess electrons is held stationary in an electric field between two large horizontal plates that are 2.25 cm apart

The field is produced by maintaining a potential difference of 0.3375 kV across the plates, and the density of the oil is 824 kg/m3. What is the radius of the oil drop? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)


8.61 µm
