Q56 / 67 · NEST (NISER) 2022 (Session 2) · Physics

In an oil drop experiment, negatively charged droplets of equal mass $\left(2.93 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~kg}\right)$ are studied as they fall through vacuum. An electric field of magnitude $5.92 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}$, pointing downwards, is present. It is observed that a droplet of charge $Q_1$ remains suspended while another with charge $Q_2$ falls through 0.125 m from rest in 0.25 s . The $Q_1 / Q_2$ is closest to,

  • Correct answer
    A
    $1.67$
  • B
    $1.95$
  • C
    $1.24$
  • D
    $2.22$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
