Question No. 14
The charge on a conductor is -1.6c. How many electrons are in excess on it than normal state
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanat i dont know the answer
Answer:
Even I used to feel the same that charge on the electron should be the unit for charge , meaning electrons will have a charge of -1 and protons will have a charge of +1 ,and as usual neutrons 0 , but there is a problem in doing so , what is this problem? The definition of charge , it is defined in SI units , it is defined as charge is 1 coulomb if 1A current , passes a conductor for 1sec . Using this definition of charge , you can be sure that 1A current passing for 1 second through a conductor would have sent a lot many electrons through , well , you divide this charge by that no. and you will have a rough approximate of the value , but of course there is a proper derivation for the value mathematically
However the idea is , charge is not defined on the basis of electrons and hence you have a weird looking value for charge of an electron
