Answer:


n=6.25* 10^(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the number of electrons that would have to be removed from a coin to leave it with a charge of
+10^(-7)\ C. Then the number of electrons be n. Using quantization of electric charge as :

q = ne

e is charge on an electron


n=(q)/(e)\\\\n=(10^(-7))/(1.6* 10^(-19))\\\\n=6.25* 10^(11)

So, the number of electrons are
6.25* 10^(11).
