Why do electrons transfer charge and not protons?

<h2>Answer:Protons interact in ways that electrons do not. ... Electrons are not affected by the strong force, and so they only get trapped by the electrical attraction to the nucleus which is much weaker in ionized atoms.</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:Therefore it is easier for electrons to move away from one atom to another, transferring charge.</h2>

If an airplane travels a distance of 540 km in 2.5 hours, what is its average speed in m/s?

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Great question! To solve this problem you just need a bit of simple math. The short answer is 60 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this, you must first set up your equation.

540km/2.5hr * 1000m/3600s

You would set it up this way because there are 1000 meters in a km and 3600 seconds in an hour. This

540000m/9000s

This simplifies down to

60m/s

A typical cell phone charger is rated to transfer a maximum of 1.0 Coulomb of charge per second. Calculate the maximum number of

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The maximum no. of electrons- $2.25\times 10^{22}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Maximum rate of transfer of charge, I = 1.0 C/s

Time, t = 1.0 h = 3600 s

Rate of transfer of charge is current, I

Also,

$I = \frac{Q}{t}$

Q = ne

where

n = no. of electrons

Q = charge in coulomb

I = current

Thus

Q = It

Thus the charge flow in 1. 0 h:

$Q = 1.0\times 3600 = 3600\ C$

Maximum number of electrons, n is given by:

$n = \frac{Q}{e}$

where

e = charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{- 19}\ C$

Thus

$n = \frac{3600}{1.6\times 10^{- 19}} = 2.25\times 10^{22}$
