A helium nucleus is located between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor as shown. The nucleus has a charge of+2e and a mass of 6.6x10-27kg. What is the magnitude of the electric field such that the electric force exactly balances the weight of the helium nucleus so that it remains stationary?
If force due to electric field = weight then the nucleusis balanced
i.e., E q =mg
E = mg / q
= ( 6.6x10-27kg) ( 9.8 m / s 2 ) / ( 2e )
= ( 6.6x10-27kg) ( 9.8 m / s 2 ) / ( 2*1.6 * 10-19 C )
= 20.2125 *10-8 N / C

In the early 1900s, Robert Millikan used small charged droplets of oil, suspended in an electric field, to make the first quantitative measurements of the electron’s charge. A 0.74-μm-diameter droplet of oil, having a charge of +e+e, is suspended in midair between two horizontal plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. The upward electric force on the droplet is exactly balanced by the downward force of gravity. The oil has a density of 860 kg/m3, and the capacitor plates are 6.0 mm...
