Question

QT= 160 micro-Coulombs In scientific notation, what is that charge in just Coulombs?

Answer 1

We are given the following quantity:

`Q=160\text{ micro-Coulomb}`

Let's remember that in scientific notation the term "Micro" refers to ten to the minus 6, therefore, this is equivalent to:

`Q=160*10^(-6)C`

We can convert this into standard notation by multiplying by the ten to the minus six:

`Q=0.00016C`

Therefore, the charge is 0.00016 Coulomb.
