Question

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8 mg drops each have a charge of +29 pC. The centers of the droplets are at the same height and 0.36 cm apart.

What horizontal acceleration does this force produce on the droplets?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

The answer is not 0.322 m/s^2
