let  F=electric force          w=the weight of electron          m_e =the electron mass=9.1×10^(−31)  kg           g=gravity=9.8 m/s^2           E=electric field           e=elementary charge=1.6×10^(−19)  C    F=1.6w  e.E=1.6 mg  E= ((1.6 mg)/e) =((1.6×9.1×10^(−31) ×9.8)/(1.6×10^(−19) )) =8.9×10^(−11)  N/C
