Question: Physics....please help!?


( Back )

Answer #1:

d = 0.67 x10^-6 m
r = 0.335 x 10^-6 m
e = 1.602 x10^-19 C
ρ = 860 kg/m^3
m = ρ x vol. = 860 x 4pi r^3 / 3 = 0.135 x10^-15 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2

For the drop to be stationary in mid air, the mass of the drop is balanced by the upward electric force .

mg = eE,
where E is the electric field between the the plates.

E = mg / e = 8258 N/C

The voltage between the plates = V = X E ,
where X is the distance between the plates.

V = 8258 x 4 x10^-3 = 33 Volts
