Question

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?

Answer 1

Answer:

In this process there will be loss of $n=11.25\times 10^6$ electron

Explanation:

We have given total charge $q=18pC$

We know that $1pC=10^{-12}C$

So $18pC=18\times 10^{-12}C$

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

We have to find the total number of electron

We know that total charge is equal to $ne=18\times 10^{-12}$

$n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=18\times 10^{-12}$

$n=11.25\times 10^6$

So total number of electron will be equal to $n=11.25\times 10^6$

So in this process there will be loss of $n=11.25\times 10^6$ electron
