AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the voltage required between two metallic plates to balance an oil drop with a given charge and mass, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the oil drop The oil drop experiences two main forces: 1. The gravitational force (downward) given by \( F_g = mg \) 2. The electric force (upward) due to the electric field between the plates, given by \( F_e = EQ \) ### Step 2: Set the forces equal for balance ...
