A spherical oil drop, radius `10^(-4)` cm has on it at a certain a total charge of 40 electrons. Calculate the energy that would be required to place an additional electron on the drop.
Only electric force is acting on `q_(0)`
`:. W_(el)=DeltaK" "=1/2 mv^(2)-0" "implies" "`Now `W_(el)")"_(c rarr oo) =q_(0) V_(c) =q_(0) (KQ)/R`.
`:. (Kq_(0)Q)/R=1/2 mv^(2)" "implies" "v=sqrt((2Kq_(0)Q)/(mR))`
Correct Answer - (a). 120000N
(b). Force is nearly 10 times the weight of the car two conclusions can be drawn from the result-
(i). Electrostatic force is a strong...
