Calculate the net charge on a substance consisting of a combination of 2.8 × 1013 protons and 7.6×1013 electrons. The elemental charge is 1.6 × 10−19 C. Answer in units of C.
+33614 Since the charge is negative for electrons and positive for protons just take the difference in the numb ers and multiply by the size of the charge:
net charge = (2.8 - 7.6)*1013*1.6*10-19 C (You can crunch the numbers) Because there are more electrons than protons the net charge is negative.
