Question

If 1.34 ✕ 1020 electrons move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation, how many coulombs of charge moved through it?

Answer 1

Given :

Number of operations move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation , $n=1.34 \times 10^{20}$ .

To Find :

How many coulombs of charge moved through it .

Solution :

We know , charge in  one electron is :

$e^-=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ coulombs$

So , charge on n electron is :

$C=e^-\times n\\C=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.34\times 10^{20} \ C\\C=-21.44\ C$

Therefore , -21.44 coulombs of charge is moved through it .

Hence , this is the required solution .
