Answer :
Answer:
(a) electrons are added
(b) [tex]3.75\times 10^{9}[/tex]
Explanation:
Charge acquired by the balloon, q = - 0.6 nC
(a) As the balloon gets negative charge, so that it means the balloon gains electrons. The electrons are negatively charged, so a body have negatively charged means that the electrons are added to the body.
(b) The charge of one electron is given by e.
e = [tex]-1.6 \times 10^{-19}C[/tex]
The number of electrons is given by the ratio of total charge to the charge of one electron.
let there are n number of electrons
[tex]n = \frac{-0.6\times 10^{-9}}{-1.6 \times 10^{-19}}[/tex]
n = [tex]3.75\times 10^{9}[/tex]
