Question

A charged particle of mass  5×105kg is held stationary in space by placing it in an electric field of strength  107NC1 directed vertically downwards. The charge on the particle is

Easy
Solution

QE=mgQ=mgE=5×105×10107=5×105μC

Since electric field is acting downward so for balance charge must be negative.
