Question

A solid copper sphere, 10 cm in diameter is deprived of 1020 electrons by a charging scheme. The charge on the sphere is

Answer 1

Answer:

16.02 coulomb

Explanation:

Given A solid copper sphere, 10 cm in diameter is deprived of 1020 electrons by a charging scheme. The charge on the sphere is

Given number of electrons deprived , n = 10^20

We know that  

Charge of electron e = 1.602 x 10^-19 coulomb

q = ne

       = 10^20 x 1.602 x 10^-19

 q = 16.02 coulomb.

The charge on the sphere is 16.02 coulomb
