A body has a charge of \(-3.2 \mu \mathrm{C}\). The number of excess electrons will be

  1. A \(5.12 \times 10^{25}\)
  2. B \(5 \times 10^{12}\)
  3. C \(2 \times 10^{13}\)
  4. D \(5.12 \times 10^{13}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \times 10^{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge on body, \(q=-3.2 \mu \mathrm{C}=-3.2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}\)
\(\therefore\) Number of excess electrons,
\(n=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{-3.2 \times 10^{-6}}{-1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)
\(=2 \times 10^{13}\)
