As we learnt in

Dual Nature of Radiation -

Wave -particle duality postulates that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties

-

 

 At equilibrium: 

Net force = 0 

mg - qE = 0  \Rightarrow\ \;q=\frac{mg}{E}

q=\frac{9.9\times{10^{-15}\times10}}{3\times10^{4}}=3.3\times10^{-18}\ C

Correct answer is 1
