Question

A group of electrons is treated as a point charge of -1.12 x 10-18 C. How many electrons make up this point charge? Remember that each electron has a charge of -1.602 x 10-19 C. o 2 o 4 4 07​

Answer 1

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total charge is given by;

C =nq

Where;

n = number of charges

q = quantity of charge

Where the total amount of charge is -1.12 x 10-18 C and the magnitude of each charge is -1.602 x 10-19 C

Then the number of electrons is obtained from;

n = -1.12 x 10-18 C/ -1.602 x 10-19 C

n = 7
