A tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge q is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength 81π7×105 V m-1. When the field is switched off, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity 2 × 103 m s1. Given g= 9.8 m s2, viscosity of the air =1.8 × 105 N s m2 and the density of oil = 900 kg m3, the magnitude of q is :
