Electrical Charge is a property of matter that causes it to experience a force when place in an electromagnetic field. Charge is measured in coulombs.
The change in the charge is 2.2- (2.0)= 4.2 μ c.
1 electron has a charge of 1.6 ×10∧-19 coulombs
Therefore, the number of electrons will be;
= (4.2 ×10∧-6)/ (1.6 ×10∧-19)
= 2.625 × 10∧13 electrons

<span>Current charge = -2.0 micro C
Charge needed = +2.2 micro C
So the net charge is 4.2 micro C
The charge on one electron = -1.602 x 10^-19 C
Calculating the net change in the number of electrons = 4.2 x 10^-6 / -1.602 x 10^-19 = - 2.621 x 10^13
The negative sign implies the number of electrons that needs to be removed that is 2.621 x 10^3</span>

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.

Softa [21]

Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since $velocity = \frac{change in position}{time}$ , and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.
