A tiny spherical oil drop of mass 8 mg is kept suspended by applying a potential difference of 100 V between two metallic plates kept separated by a distance 1 cm. The number of electrons on the oil drop are : (Take \( g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2} \))

  1. A \( 5 \times 10^{10} \)
  2. B \( 5 \times 10^{8} \)
  3. C \( 5 \times 10^{12} \)
  4. D \( 5 \times 10^{13} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 5 \times 10^{10} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( mg = qE \) \( mg = n e \frac{V}{d} \) \( n = \frac{mgd}{eV} \) \( n = \frac{(8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ kg})(10 \text{ ms}^{-2})(0.01 \text{ m})}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C})(100 \text{ V})} \) \( n = 5 \times 10^{10} \)
