Physics, asked by Mann02, 1 year ago

In the formula Q=ne why do we use positive value of 1.6*10^-19 electrons?

Electrons are negatively charged so why not negative value?

in that pic,
q represents charge
n represents no. of electron
& e represents "magnitude" of charge of one electon or one proton,thats why there is no -ve sign.
Generally e^- is used to represent the charge on one electon

Mann02: I know that but why don't we use negative valu
Mann02: value?
abhinav982: because we are only talking about magnitude those charges
abhinav982: electrons.
Mann02: so answer should be negative
