Question

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?

Answer 1

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

$n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \ on \ one \ electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
