In Millikan's oil drop experiment,an oil drop of mass $16 \times 10^{-6} \ kg$ is balanced by an electric field of $10^6 \ V/m$. The charge in coulomb on the drop,assuming $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,is:

  • A
    $6.2 \times 10^{-11}$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^{-9}$
  • C
    $16 \times 10^{-11}$
  • D
    $16 \times 10^{-13}$

$A$ proton and an $\alpha$-particle having equal kinetic energy are projected into a uniform transverse electric field as shown in the figure.

$A$ uniform electric field $E = (8m/e) \text{ V/m}$ is created between two parallel plates of length $1 \text{ m}$ as shown in the figure (where $m = \text{mass of electron}$ and $e = \text{charge of electron}$). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a speed of $2 \text{ m/s}$. The angle of the deviation $(\theta)$ of the path of the electron as it comes out of the field will be:
