Suppose a van de Graaff generator builds a negative static charge,and a grounded conductor is placed near enough to it so that a 7.0 μC of negative charge arcs to the conductor.Calculate the number of electrons that are transferred. A)4.38 × 10¹³ B)7.0 C)1.12 × 10^-18 D)43.8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge of one electron is approximately -1.6 × 10^-19 C. To find the number of electrons transferred, divide the total charge by the charge of one electron: 7.0 μC / 1.6 × 10^-19 C/electron = 4.38 × 10^13 electrons.
