Calculate the number of electrons constituting half coulomb of charge
Answers
Answer:
An electron is a subatomic particle commonly represented as e– or e. It possesses negative polarity. An electron inherits the properties like – Charge, Mass, Spin, etc. The values of the electron simply the value of the charge of an electron, the mass of the electron, and a quantum mechanical property- spin of the electron along with corresponding units.
We know that the charge on an electron is negative, and it is 1.6⨯10-19 coulomb.
Need to calculate the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge.
e = 1.6 × 10-19 C
Total charge required for 1Coulomb.
∴ q = 1C……….(1)
The formula to calculate the charge is
q = ne
where
q = charge
e = number of electrons
n = q/e……….(2)
Substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we get
n = 1/(1.6 × 10-19)
n = 6.25 × 1018 electrons ≅ 6 × 1018 electrons
So 1 Columb of charge contains 6 × 1018 electrons.
