Given:

The number of more electrons than protons is n = 4000000

Required: Net charge on the object

Step-by-step explanation:

The net charge on an object is given by the formula


q=ne

Here, e is the charge of an electron and its value is


e=1.6*10^(-19)\text{ C}

On substituting the values, the net charge on the object will be


\begin{gathered} q=4000000*1.6*10^(-19)\text{ C} \\ =\text{ 6.4}*10^(-13)\text{ C} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The net charge on the object is 6.4e-13 C
