Question

how many electrons must be removed from an object for it to have a charge of 1.0 c

Answer 1

n = 6.25 × 1018

Explanation:

when electrons are removed from an atom it gets positive charge. If an atom accepts electrons it gets negative charge. The quantity of charge depends of the number of electrons removed and accepted.

Charge = Q = 1C

Charge on electron = e = 1.6 × 10-19 C

We know that:

Q = ne  

n = 1/1.6 × 10^(-19)

n = 6.25 × 10^18
