Answer:

2.00 µC have 1.256 * 10 ^ 13 * more protons than electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

net arge = 2.00mu * C

we know,

1 coulomb rge = 6.28 * 10 ^ 18 electrons

1 micro coulomb Targe = 6.28 * 10 ^ 18 * 10 ^ - 6 electron

=6.28*10^ 12 electrons

2.00mu * C = 2 * 6.28 * 10 ^ 12 electrons =1.256*10^ 13 electrons since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 * 10 ^ 13 more than electrons.

hence, 2.00 µC have 1.256 * 10 ^ 13 * more protons than electrons.
