In Millikan's oil drop experiment,an oil drop of mass $16 \times 10^{-6} \ kg$ is balanced by an electric field of $10^6 \ V/m$. The charge in coulomb on the drop,assuming $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,is:

  • A
    $6.2 \times 10^{-11}$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^{-9}$
  • C
    $16 \times 10^{-11}$
  • D
    $16 \times 10^{-13}$
