- For a homogenous field: E=F/q
I know how the answer is C, since E=F/q and F=ma=mg. However, I am a bit confused as to why my other method doesn't work. I thought that since the droplets are falling at a constant velocity, there is not net force, so according to E=F/q the electric field must be zero then? This seems like a really weird way of thinking but I can't tell what exactly went wrong in my reasoning... Thanks for the help!
