Question

If a balloon has 12 electrons on its surface but also 13 protons, what

is the net charge on the balloon?

Answer 1

q = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

No. of electrons = -12

No. of protons = 13

We need to find the net charge on the balloon. We know that net charge is equal to the sum of proton and the electrons such that,

Net charge = No. of electrons + no. of protons

= -12 + 13

= 1

So, the net charge is equal to 1.
