A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of 20 pC while flying. Theelectric field near the surface of the earth is typically 100 N/C,directed downward.

a. What is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee'sweight?
b. What electric field strength and direction would allow the beeto hang suspended in the air?
