I'm having trouble finding Q2.
-5.2 x 10^19 x 6.2 x 10 ^18?
-5.2 x 10^19 x 6.2 x 10 ^18?
The "Q2" charge, of the 5.2*10^19 electrons, is
-5.2*10^19*1.6*10^-19 C/electron
= -8.32 Coulombs
Your number of 6.2*10^18 is the number of electrons per Coulomb. If you had divided by that number instead of multiplying, you would have gotten the right answer.
-5.2*10^19*1.6*10^-19 C/electron
= -8.32 Coulombs
Your number of 6.2*10^18 is the number of electrons per Coulomb. If you had divided by that number instead of multiplying, you would have gotten the right answer.
