Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The elementary charge \(e\) is the fundamental physical constant representing the electric charge carried by a single proton. The charge of an electron is defined as \(-e\). The value of the elementary charge is approximately \(1.602 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\). Therefore, the…
