Electrostatics 7 Question 9

9. A tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge q is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength 81π7×105Vm1. When the field is switched off, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity 2×103ms1. Given g=9.8ms2, viscosity of the air =1.8×105Nsm2 and the density of oil =900kgm3, the magnitude of q is

(a) 1.6×1019C

(b) 3.2×1019C

(c) 4.8×1019C

(d) 8.0×1019C

Solution:

qE=mg6πηrv=mg43πr3ρg=mg

r=3mg4πρg1/3

Substituting the value of r in Eq. (ii) we get,

6πην3mg4πρg1/3=mg(6πηv)33mg4πρg=(mg)3

Again substituting mg=qE we get,

(qE)2=34πρg(6πηv)3 or qE=34πρg1/2(6πηv)3/2q=1E34πρg1/2(6πηv)3/2

Substituting the values we get,

q=781π×10534π×900×9.8×216π3×(1.8×105×2×103)3=8.0×1019C
