Two large circular discs separated by a distance of are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density are released through a tiny hole at the centre of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity, the switch is closed to apply a voltage of across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is __________. (neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity and charge on an electron (e) )

JEE Advanced 2013 Hard - A ball is thrown from the location \(\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)\) of a horizontal playground with an initial speed \(v_0\) at an angle \(\theta_0\) from the \(+x\)-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(L, 0)\). The stone is thrown at an angle \(\left(180-\theta_1\right)\) from the \(+x\)-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed \(v_0\), when \(\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\right)\), the stone hits the ball after time \(T_1\), and when \(\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\right)\), it hits the ball after time \(T_2\).
