Question

Plus one coulomb means that the body has a deficit of

Answer 1

The basic unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of charge transferred in one second by a steady current of one ampere, and equivalent to 6.2415 × 1018 elementary charges, where one elementary charge is the charge of a proton or the negative of the charge of an electron.

Answer 2

Plus one coulomb means that the body has a deficit of electrons.

Explanation:

• In an atom, both electrons and protons are charged particles.
• Protons are present inside the nucleus and a very large amount of energy will be required to break them from the nucleus.
• On the other hand, electrons are loosely bound to the nucleus and can be easily released.
• Thus, the charge transfer is based on electrons.
• Charge on a body arises due to the transfer of electrons.

• The charge on one electron is $\[1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}C\]$.
• The number of electrons in one Coulomb is $\[\frac{1}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19\,}}C}} = 6.25 \times 1{0^{18}}\]$.
• The excess electrons than this value will be for one Coulomb of negative charge while lesser electrons than this value will correspond to one Coulomb of positive charge.
