Question

What is the net charge of a metal ball if there are 21,749 extra electrons in it?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of extra electrons, n = 21749

We need to find the net charge on the metal ball. Let Q is the net charge.

We know that the charge on an electron is $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

To find the net charge if there are n number of extra electrons is :

Q = n × q

$Q=21749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

$Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$

So, the net charge on the metal ball is $3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C$. Hence, this is the required solution.
