Question :
If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?
Solution :
We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.
Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .
Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.
Now, number of electrons is given by :
[tex]n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \ on \ one \ electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
