Question

If an object is determined to have a negative charge of 1.6 micro Coulomb, you can conclude that the object has an excess of

Answer 1

The object has an excess of
`10^(13)` electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object has a negative charge he has an excess of electrons in its body. We can calculate the number of excessive electrons by dividing the charge of the body by the charge of one electron. This is done below:

`n = \frac{\text{object charge}}{\text{electron charge}}\\n = (-1.6*10^(-6))/(-1.6*10^(-19)) = 1*10^(-6 + 19) = 10^(13)`

The object has an excess of
`10^(13)` electrons.
