Answer: The charge is equal to 1.602*10^(-17) C

Explanation:

The elementary charge (the smallest charge that exists) is the charge of one proton (or the magnitude of the charge of a single electron), and it is equal to:

c = 1.602*10^(-19) C.

Where C stands for coulombs,

Then a charge of 100 elementary charges is equal to 100 times the charge of a single electron, this is:

Charge = 100*( 1.602*10^(-19) C) = 1.602*10^(-17) C
