In a Millikan Oil-Drop type experiment, oil drops with an excess charge of two electrons are suspended between the two plates. If the mass of the oil drop is one million times the mass of the proton, and the plates are 2.5 cm apart, what is the voltage of the upper plate relative to that of the lower plate? Assume a uniform field between the two plates,
