Two large circular discs separated by a distance of 0.01 m are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density 900 kg m-3 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 200 V across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius 8×10-7 m 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 =10 m s-2 and charge on an electron (e) =1.6×10-19 C)

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
