Calculate the number of electrons with a combined charge of -1nC

(Use grade 10 calculations)

1 answer

To calculate the number of electrons with a combined charge of -1nC, we first need to know the charge of a single electron.

The elementary charge of an electron is approximately -1.6 x 10^-19 C.

Therefore, to find the number of electrons with a total charge of -1nC, we divide the total charge by the charge of a single electron:

-1nC / (-1.6 x 10^-19 C) = 6.25 x 10^18 electrons

So, there are approximately 6.25 x 10^18 electrons with a combined charge of -1nC.
