An ebonite rod is rubed with fur and is found to have a charge of `-3.2xx10^(-8)C` on it
(a) Calculate the number of electrons transferred,
(b) What is the charge of rubbing?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `q="ne"`
`3.2xx10^(-8)=nxx1.6xx10^(-19)`
`n=2xx10^(11)`.
(b) Charge on fur should be equal and opposite to that on ebonite, i.e. `+3.2xx10^(-8)C`.
