When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +18pC. How many electrons did it lose in the process of acquiring this charge?

Respuesta :

Answer:

In this process there will be loss of [tex]n=11.25\times 10^6[/tex] electron

Explanation:

We have given total charge [tex]q=18pC[/tex]

We know that [tex]1pC=10^{-12}C[/tex]

So [tex]18pC=18\times 10^{-12}C[/tex]

We know that charge on one electron is equal; to [tex]e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

We have to find the total number of electron

We know that total charge is equal to [tex]ne=18\times 10^{-12}[/tex]

[tex]n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=18\times 10^{-12}[/tex]

[tex]n=11.25\times 10^6[/tex]

So total number of electron will be equal to [tex]n=11.25\times 10^6[/tex]

So in this process there will be loss of [tex]n=11.25\times 10^6[/tex] electron
