Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A oil drop having a mass $4.8 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~g}$ and charge $2.4 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{C}$ stands still between two charged horizontal plates separated by a distance of $1 \mathrm{~cm}$. If now the polarity of the plates is changed, instantaneous acceleration of the drop is : $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)$

The correct answer is: $10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$
$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{q E}{m}=\frac{m g}{m}$
$g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
