Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.4-mmmm-diameter drop has a charge of +12 pCpC. In a thunderstorm, the electric field under a cloud can reach 12,000 N/CN/C, directed upward.  For a droplet exposed to this field, how do the magnitude of the electric force compare to those of the weight force? What is the direction of the electric force
