Question

Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.5-mm-diameter drop has a charge of +18 pC. If the strength of the earth's electric field is 100 N/C, how does the magnitude of the electric force on the droplet compare to the weight force?

          Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose
a 2.5-mm-diameter drop has a charge
of +18 pC.
If the strength of the earth's electric field
is 100 N/C, how does the magnitude of the electric
force on the droplet compare to the weight force?

Step 1

Given q = 18 pC = 18 x 10^-12 C E = 100 N/C F = 18 x 10^-12 C x 100 N/C F = 1.8 x 10^-9 N Show more…
