The diagram shows a thundercloud whose base is 500 m above the ground. The potential difference between the base of the cloud and the ground is 200 MV. A raindrop with a charge of 4.0 × 10⁻¹² C is in the region between the cloud and the ground. What is the electrical force on the raindrop?

1. A1.6 × 10⁻⁶ N
2. B8.0 × 10⁻⁴ N
3. C1.6 × 10⁻³ N
4. D0.40 N
