Physics

In a particular Millikan oil-drop apparatus, the plates are 2.25cm apart. The oil used has a density of 0.815 g/cm3 , and theatomizer that sprays the oil drops produces drops of diameter1.00×10−3 mm.  

A) What strength of electric field is needed tohold such a drop stationary against gravity if the drop containsfive extra electrons?

B) What should be the potential differenceacross the plates to produce this electric field?

C) If another drop of the same oil requires aplate potential of 65.3 V to hold it stationary, how many excesselectrons did it contain?
