Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

After some rather exhausting counting (and a rather tall tale), a physics teacher determines that a very small sample of an object contains 2.6325 x 1015 protons and 2.6325 x 1015 electrons; the charge on this object is ____ Coulomb(s).

A	0
B	2.6325
C	1
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -it is attracted to it since the electrons will move allowing for it to be attracted. determine the quantity and type of charge on an object that has 3.62 x 1012 more protons than electrons. multiply the number of protons by the charge of one proton and the answer is 5.8x10-7C.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral.

Detailed explanation-3: -The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electrons becomes positively charged. Objects with like charges repel each other, while those with opposite charges attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -The object which gains the electrons would then be negatively charged. The object which loses the electrons would then be positively charged. Many students have the misconception that an object can become positively charged by gaining protons.
