Answer:
Explanation:
charge transferred to sphere = 12 - 8 = 4 nC
a )
The positive charge is decreased on glass rod , that means electrons must have entered the glass rod from the sphere which reduces its positive charge.
b )
charge transferred = 4 nC = 4 x 10⁻⁹ C
charge on one electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
No of electrons transferred
= Total charge transferred / charge on one electron
= 4 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹
= 2.5 x 10¹⁰ .
