Two large circular discs separated by a distance of 0.01 m are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc.

As a result, an oil drop of radius m stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is _________. (neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity and charge on an electron (e) C)
