The classic Millikan oil-drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oi

l drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field.
Consider an oil drop with a weight of 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ N, if the drop has a single excess electron, find the magnitude (in N/C) of the electric field needed to balance its weight. Your should round your answer to an integer, indicate only the number, do not include the unit.

Answer:

156250 N/C

Explanation:

weight of drop, W = 2.5 x 10^-14 N

charge of drop, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Let the electric field is E.

Weight is balanced by the electrostatic force

W = qE

2.5 x 10^-14 = 1.6 x 10^-19 x E

E = 156250 N/C

Answer:

1.56\times 10^5 N/C        

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

E =\frac{W}{e}

Substitute the values:

E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C

densk [106]

Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it

So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as

F_f = \mu m g

So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as

F_{net} = - \mu mg

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}

a = -\mu g

now it is given that

\mu = 0.868

g = 9.81 m/s^2

so here we have

a = -0.868 * 9.81

a = -8.52 m/s^2

so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2
