In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.64$\mu \mathrm{m}$ and density 0.851 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ is suspended in chamber $\mathrm{C}($ Fig. $22-16)$ when a downward electric field of $1.92 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$ is applied. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of $e .$
