To find the mass of the particle suspended between the horizontal metal plates, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Particle The particle has a weight (mg) acting downwards and an electric force (Qe) acting upwards due to the electric field between the plates. Since the particle is in equilibrium, these two forces must balance each other. ### Step 2: Write the Equation for Equilibrium Since the particle is in equilibrium: \[ mg = Qe \] ...
