An air ionizer filters particles of dust, pollen, and other allergens from the air using electric forces.
In one type of ionizer (see diagram), a stream of air is drawn in with a speed of 3.0 m/s. The air
passes through a fine, highly charged wire mesh that transfers electric charge to the particles.

them in a filter. Consider a dust particle of radius 6.0 µm, mass 1.0 × 10–13 kg, and charge 100e.

A dense collection of equal number of electrons and positive ions is called neutral plasma. Certain
solid containing fixed positive ions surrounded by free electrons can be treated as neutral plasma.
Let N be the number density of free electrons, each of mass m. When the electrons are subjected
to an electric field, they are displaced relatively aways from the heavy positive ions. If the electric
field becomes zero, the electrons begin to oscillate about the positive ions with a nutural angular
frequency p , while is called the plasma frequency. To sustain the oscillations, a time avarying
electric field needes to be applied that has an angular frequency  where a part of the energy is
absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As  approaches p all the free electrons are set to reso-
nance together and all the energy is reflected. This is the explanation of high reflectivity of metals.

the figure below. If the work done in bringing the dipole to this position is N x (mgh) , where g is
the acceleration due to gravity then the value of N is ___.(Note that for the three coplanar force
