Electrostatics Question 418

Question: A charged particle of mass 5×105kg is held stationary in space by placing it in an electric field of strength 107NC1 directed vertically downwards. The charge on the particle is [EAMCET 2000]

Options:

A) 20×105μC

B) 5×105μC

C) 5×105μC

D) 20×105μC

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

QE = mg Q=mgE=5×105×10107

=5×105mC . Since electric field is acting downward so for balance charge must be negative.
