Question

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10⁻¹¹ kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v = 20.0 m/s . The drops pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops then pass between parallel deflecting plates of length D0 = 2.35 cm , where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 8.20×10⁴ N/C . (Figure 1)

a) If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.280 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 kg/m3 , and ignore the effects of gravity
