. q 0.01m 5. In an oil-drop experiment, two parallel conducting plates are connected to a power supply with a constant voltage of 100 V. The separation between the plates is 0.01 m. A 4.8 x 10-16 kg oil drop is suspended in the region between the plates. Use g = 10 m/s2. Model the plates as infinite planes as their length is much greater than their separation. a. What is the direction of the electric field between the plates? b. What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates? c. What is the sign and magnitude of the electric charge on the oil drop when it stays stationary? The mass of the drop is reduced to 3.2 x 10-16 kg because of evaporation. d. What is the new acceleration of the drop
