If a charge on the body is \( 1 \mathrm{nC} \), then how many electrons are present on the body?

  1. A \( 1.6 \times 10^{19} \)
  2. B \( 6.25 \times 10^{9} \)
  3. C \( 6.25 \times 10^{27} \)
  4. D \( 6.25 \times 10^{28} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 6.25 \times 10^{9} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know; \(q=n e \Rightarrow n=\frac{q}{e}\)
where \(\mathrm{q}\) is charge; \(\mathrm{n}\) is number of electrons; e is electronic charge
Given, \(q=1 \mathrm{nC}=1 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}\)
If a charge on body is \(1 \mathrm{nC}\), then \(6.25 \times 10^{9}\)
