When \(10^{19}\) electrons are removed from a neutral metal plate through some process, the charge on it becomes __________.

  1. A -1.6 C
  2. B +1.6 C
  3. C \(10^{19} C\)
  4. D \(10^{-19} C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) +1.6 C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B)
\(\begin{aligned} Q & =n e \\ & =10^{19} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \\ & =1.6 C \end{aligned}\)
Removal of electrons opens up a positive charge.
