A negatively charged balloon has 4 μC of charge. How many excess electrons are on this bal- loon? The elemental charge is 1.6 ×
bagirrra123 [75]
Data:

The charge of a body depends on the amount of electrons it gains or loses. Q = n * e, where "Q" is charge, "n" is the number of plus or minus electrons, and "e" is the fundamental charge of an electron 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C<span>. To know if the body has gained or lost, we look at the signal of its charge, remembering that the electron is negative. The charge of the body is 4 μC (positive), so there is a lack of electrons! 

Q = 4 </span>μC → Q = 4*10^{-6}
e = 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C
n = ?<span>

We have:
</span>Q = n*e
n =  \frac{Q}{e}
n =  \frac{4*10^{-6}}{1,6 * 10 ^{-19}}
n = 2,5*10^{-6-(-19)}
n = 2,5*10^{-6+19}
\boxed{n = 2,5*10^{13}electrons}

Your friend asks you for a glass of water and you bring her 5 milliliters of water. Is this more or less than what she was proba
Eddi Din [679]
Probably not what you were expecting... the average bottle of water is 24 ounces. 5 milliliters is about the amount of water in a spoon. Hope this helps!!!
