To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

$n = \frac{q}{e}$

Replacing,

$n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}$

$n = 2.44*10^7$

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is $2.44*10^7$

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?

Marysya12 [62]

Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.
