Question

Using a power supply, I place +1.00µC on one plate of a capacitor. A capacitor is a device for storing charge. I, then, connect the capacitor to a large sphere through a device that measures charge transfer (called an integrator). It measures −10nC transferred to the sphere. How many electrons were transferred?

Answer 1

Answer:

$N=62421972534 electrons$

Explanation:

The charge transferred charge Q= −10nC = -10*10-9 C

Charge of a electron : $Q_{e}= -1,602*10^{-19}C$

Number of electrons transferred:  $N=\frac{Q}{Q_{e} }=(-10*10^{-9} )/(-1,602*10^{-19})=62421972534 electrons$
