Question

How many electrons make up 1.50 coulomb of charge? (Hint: q = ne.) answer in:_____electrons

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the number of electrons in 1.5 Coulomb of charge. To do that we will use the following formula:

`q=ne`

Where:

`\begin{gathered} q=\text{ charge} \\ n=\text{ number of electrons} \\ e=\text{ fundamental charge of electrons} \end{gathered}`

The fundamental charge is the charge of 1 electron and is given by:

`e=1.6*10^(-19)C`

Now, we substitute the values:

`1.5C=n(1.6*10^(-19)C)`

Now, we solve for "n":

`(1.5C)/(1.6*10^(-19)C)=n`

Solving the operations we get:

`9375000000000000000=n`

Therefore, there are 9375000000000000000 electrons.
