Find the charge of a body constituting 10^(18) electrons. (With full process)
Answers
Explanation:
Thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere.
We know that the charge on an electron is negative, and it is -1.6⨯10-19 coulomb.
We 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.
