Question

A tiny object contains 5.54 x 10^12 protons and 4.71 x 10^12 electrons. What is the net charge on the object?

Answer 1

The net charge on the object is 0.1328 μC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Proton
`P=5.54*10^(12)`

Electron
`e=4.71*10^(12)`

We need to calculate the net charge on the object

Using formula of net charge

`Q=p+e`

Where, Q = net charge

p = protons

e = electron

Put the value into the formula

`Q =(5.54-4.71)*10^(12)*1.6*10^(-19)`

`Q=1.328*10^(-7)\ C`

`Q=0.1328*10^(-6)\ C`

`Q=0.1328\ \mu C`

Hence, The net charge on the object is 0.1328 μC.
