When a piece of polythene is rubbed with wool, a negative charge of \(4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{C}\) is developed on the polythene. The number of electrons transferred wool to polythene is \(\left[\mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right]\)

  1. A \(1.5 \times 10^{12}\)
  2. B \(3.5 \times 10^{13}\)
  3. C \(2.5 \times 10^{13}\)
  4. D \(2.5 \times 10^{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.5 \times 10^{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{q}=4 \times 10^{-7} \\ & \mathrm{q}=\mathrm{Ne} \\ & \mathrm{N}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-7}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}=2.5 \times 10^{12}\end{aligned}\)
