Suppose an object has a charge of 1 C and gains 6.88 * 10^18 electrons. What will the net charge of the object be in C?

Give the answer in absolute value.

It gains a charge of 1.102 coulomb, so shouldn't the net charge be 2.102 coulombs?

-1.6*10^-19 * 6.88*10^18 = -11*10^-1 = -1.1
so so 2.0 - 1.1 = 0.9 C

That's wrong, according to my class...

LOL, sorry but proton is positive and electron is negative.
Answered by Damon
What do you think would happen to every atom in the universe if protons and electrons were both positive ?
hint: like charges reepel
