The number of excess electrons found on an object when 1.6 C charge is given to that object is:

  1. A \(10^8\) electrons
  2. B \(10^{10}\) electrons
  3. C \(10^{19}\) electrons
  4. D \(10^{18}\) electrons
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10^{19}\) electrons

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total charge \(Q\) on an object is quantized and given by the relation \(Q = ne\), where \(n\) is the number of electrons and \(e\) is the elementary charge. Given \(Q = 1.6\) C and \(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C. Substituting these values into the formula:…
