Question

Common static electricity involves charges ranging from nanocoulombs to microcoulombs. (a) How many electrons are needed to form a charge of $-2.00 	extrm{ nC}$ (b) How many electrons must be removed from a neutral object to leave a net charge of $0.500 	extrm{ }\mu	extrm{C}$?

Accepted Answer

$1.25 	imes 10^{10} 	extrm{ electrons}$	$3.13 	imes 10^{12} 	extrm{ electrons}$
