Math Problem Statement
What is the charge on an object that has 750 excess electrons on its surface?
Solution
The charge on an object is determined by the number of excess electrons and the charge of a single electron. The charge of one electron is approximately coulombs.
To calculate the total charge on the object, multiply the number of excess electrons by the charge of one electron :
Given:
Substitute the values:
Thus, the charge on the object is coulombs.
