An oil drop of $12$ excess electrons is held stationary under a constant electric field of $2.55 \times 10^{4}\; N\,C ^{-1}$ (Millikan's oil drop experiment). The density of the oil is $1.26 \;g \,cm ^{-3} .$ Estimate the radius of the drop. $\left(g=9.81\; m s ^{-2} ; e=1.60 \times 10^{-19}\; \,C \right)$
