Question
A charged particle of mass 
is held stationary in space by placing it in an electric field of strength 
directed vertically downwards. The charge on the particle is
The correct answer is:
QE = mg 
= 5 ´ 10–5mC.
Since electric field is acting downward so for balance charge must be negative.
