A polythene piece rubbed with wool is found to have a negative charge of \(3.52 \times 10^{-7} C\). What is the number of electrons transferred ?

  1. A \(1.1 \times 10^{12}\)
  2. B \(2.2 \times 10^{12}\)
  3. C \(4.4 \times 10^{12}\)
  4. D \(5.5 \times 10^{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2.2 \times 10^{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B)
\(\begin{array}{ll}\text { Charge } & q=n e \\ \therefore & n=\frac{q}{e} \\ \therefore & n=\frac{3.52 \times 10^{-7}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\ \therefore & n=2.2 \times 10^{12} \text { electrons }\end{array}\)
