Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second
zlopas [31]
Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature, 

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second
