What is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the


Question: A 0.15g honeybee acquires a charge of 21pC while flying. The electric field near the surface of the earth is typically 100N/C , directed downward.

A). What is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight? Fe/W = ?

B). What electric field strength would allow the bee to hang suspended in the air? (in N/C)

C). What would be the necessary electric field direction for the bee to hang suspended in the air? Upward, downward or horizontally directed?
