A tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge q is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength `(81pi)/(7)xx10^5Vm^-1`. When the field is switched off, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity `2xx10^-3ms^-1`. Given `g=9.8ms^-2`, viscoisty of the air `=1.8xx10^-5Nsm^-2` and the denisty of oil `=900kg m^-3`, the magnitude of q is

A

`1.6 xx 10^(-19)C`

B

`3.2 xx 10^(-19) C`

C

`4.8 xx 10^(-19) C`

D

` 8.0 xx 10^(-19) C`
