Question

A piece of amber is charged by rubbing with a piece of fur. If the net excess charge on the fur is +8.0 nC (+8.0 10-9 C), how many electrons were added to the amber?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of electron on the fur will be $5\times 10^{10}electron$

Explanation:

We have given net charge on the fur $q=8nC=8\times 10^{-9}C$

Charge on one electron $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Let there are n number of electrons

So $ne=8\times 10^{-9}$

$n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-9}$

$n=5\times 10^{10}electron$

So number of electron on the fur will be $5\times 10^{10}electron$
