    10⁻⁶ C

    Explanation:

    Let the charge be Q

    Gain of energy in electric field

    = potential x charge

    = 25 x 10³ x Q

    Kinetic energy of droplet

    =.5 x. 63 x 10⁻³ x 9 x 9

    = 25.515 x 10⁻³ J

    So, equating the energy gained

    25 x 10³ x Q = 25.515 x 10⁻³

    Q = 10⁻⁶ C
