Answer:

It is called an ion.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements can lose or gain electrons making them no longer neutral, they become charged. A charged atom is called an ion. When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons.

An ordinary flashlight battery has a potential difference of 1.2 V between its positive and negative terminals. How much work mu
Maru [420]

The work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is 1.92×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Given:

Potential difference, V = 1.2 V

Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Calculation:

We know that the work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is given as:

W.D = (Charge on electron)×(Potential difference)

       = e × V

       = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)×(1.2 V)

       = 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work done in bringing the charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.
