A small particale carying a negative charge of `1.6xx10^(-19)C` ia suspended in equilibrium between the horizontal metal plates 5 cm apart, having a potential difference of 3000 V across them. Find the mass of the particle.

Answer» Here, `q = -1.6xx10^(-19)C`.
`dr = 5 cm = -5xx10^(-2)m, dV = 3000 V, m = ?`
`E = (dV)/(dr) = (-3000)/(5xx10^(-2)) = -6xx10^(4) Vm^(-1)`
As the charged particle remains suspended in equalibrium, therefore,
`F = mg = qE`
or `m = (qE)/(8) = (-1.6xx10^(-19)xx(-6xx10^(4)))/(9.8)`
`= 9.8xx10^(-16) kg`
