A coulomb is a huge amount of charge. How many electrons are necessary to produce a -2.0 C charge? (recall the charge of an electron is e = -1.60 × 10-19 C)
These are the options possible for this problem:
A.6.0 × 1023
B.1.25 × 1019
C.6.3 × 109
D.6.25 × 1018
E.1.6 × 1019
A coulomb is a huge amount of charge. How many electrons are necessary to produce a -2.0 C charge? (recall the charge of an electron is e = -1.60 × 10-19 C)
Since the charge of an electron is e = -1.60 × 10-19 C), therefore 1 coulomb has:
1/[-1.60 x 10^-19] =6.25 x 10^18 electron x 2 =1.25 x 10^19 electrons needed to produce -2.0C charge.
