A balloon, initially neutral, is rubbed with fur until it acquires a net charge of -0.60 nC. (a) Assuming that only electrons are transferred, were electrons removed from the balloon or added to it? (b) How many electrons were transferred?

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]
