A liquid drop having $6$ excess electrons is kept stationary under a uniform electric field of $25.5\, k\,Vm^{-1}$ . The density of liquid is $1.26\times10^3\, kg\, m^{-3}$ . The radius of the drop is (neglect buoyancy)

A

$4.3\times10^{-7}\, m$

B

$7.8\times10^{-7}\, m$

C

$0.0078\times10^{-7}\, m$

D

$3.4\times10^{-7}\, m$

(JEE MAIN-2013)

Solution

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qE}=\mathrm{mg}\left(\mathrm{q}=6 \mathrm{e}=6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)$

Density $(\mathrm{d})=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}$

or $r^{3}=\frac{m}{\frac{4}{3} \pi d}$

Putting the value of $\mathrm{d}$ and $\mathrm{m}\left(=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)$ and

solving we get $r=7.8 \times 10^{-7} \,\mathrm{m}$
