There is a naturally occurring vertical electric field near theEarth’s surface that points toward the ground. In fair weatherconditions, in an open field, the strength of this electric fieldis 115.0 N/C. A spherical pollen grain with a radiusof 10.0 μm is released from its parent plant by a lightbreeze, giving it a net charge of −0.800 fC(where 1 fC=1×10^−15 C)What is the ratio of themagnitudes of the electric force to the gravitationalforce, Felectric/Fgrav, acting on the pollen? Pollen isprimarily water, so assume that its volume mass densityis 1000 kg/m^3 , identical to the volume massdensity of water.
Felectric/Fgrav=
