Final answer:
To leave a net charge of Q2 = 1.7 μC, we need to remove 1.0625 x 10^13 electrons from a neutral object.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the number of electrons that must be removed from a neutral object to leave a net charge of Q2 = 1.7 μC, we need to use the formula:
Q = Ne
where Q is the net charge in coulombs, N is the number of electrons, and e is the elementary charge (1.6 x 10-19 C).
Substituting the given value of Q2 = 1.7 μC into the equation, we have:
1.7 x 10-6 C = N x 1.6 x 10-19 C
Solving for N, we get:
N = 1.7 x 10-6 C / (1.6 x 10-19 C)
N = 1.0625 x 1013 electrons
