A neutral sphere of radius r and density...

A neutral sphere of radius r and density `rho` is placed in a uniform electric field E that exists on the earth's surface in the vertically upward direction. If atomic number and the mass number of the material of the sphere are Z and A respectively, then the fraction of electrons that should be removed from the sphere for it to remain in equilibrium is [Assume that the sphere is able to hold the necessary charge without any leakage. Here `N_(A)` - Avogadro number]
