Question
8.A water droplet of mass 3.00 x 10-12 kg is located in the air near the ground during a stormy day. An atmospheric electric field of magnitude 6.00 x 103 N/C points vertically downward in the vicinity of the water droplet. The droplet remains suspended at rest in the air. What is the electric charge on the droplet?
