Question

Using a power supply, I place +1.00µC on one plate of a capacitor. A capacitor is a device for storing charge. I, then, connect the capacitor to a large sphere through a device that measures charge transfer (called an integrator). It measures −10nC transferred to the sphere. How many electrons were transferred?

Answer 1

`N=62421972534 electrons`

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge transferred charge Q= −10nC = -10*10-9 C

Charge of a electron :
`Q_(e)= -1,602*10^(-19)C`

Number of electrons transferred:
`N=(Q)/(Q_(e) )=(-10*10^(-9) )/(-1,602*10^(-19))=62421972534 electrons`
