The charge of an electron is -1,6 x10-19 C.
How many protons are needed to make 1 C of charge?
In a physics lab, you charge up three metal spheres, two with +3nC each, and one with −4nC. When you bring all three spheres together so that they all touch one another, what is the total charge on all three spheres which are now touching?
Consider the triboelectric series given below:
Pick the correct statement describing what will happen when a glass rod is rubbed against silk
Two charged pith balls on isolated strings are brought into contact with each other. Initially ball one had a charge of +11nC and ball two has a charge of +7nC. Calculate the number of electrons transferred from one ball to the next. The charge of an electron is -1,6 x10-19 C
