A particle has a charge of `+10^(-12)C`.
(a) Does it contain more or less number of electrons as compared to the netual state?
(b) Calculate the number of electrons transferred to provide this charge.

Explanation

(a) Since the particle has positive charge, it has deficiency of electrons, so it has less number of electrons compared to the neutral state.
(b) `q="ne"`
`10^(-12)=nxx1.6xx10^(-19)`
`n=6.25xx10^(6)`.
