Answer:
The charge on the bead is [tex]q = 6.084 *10^{-7}\ C[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bead is [tex]m = 3.6 \ g = 0.0036 \ kg[/tex]
The magnitude of the electric field is [tex]E = 200,000 \ N/C[/tex]
The acceleration of the bead is [tex]a = 24 m/s^2[/tex]
Generally, the electric force on the bead is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_ e = q E[/tex]
Where q is the charge on the bead
Now the gravitational force opposing the upward movement of the bead is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_g = mg[/tex]
Generally the net force on the bead is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = F_e - F_g = m* a[/tex]
=> [tex]qE - mg = ma[/tex]
Now substituting values
[tex]q * 200000 - 0.0036 *9.8 = 0.0036 * 24[/tex]
[tex]q = 6.084 *10^{-7}\ C[/tex]
