(a) Calculate the number of electrons transferred,
(b) What is the charge of rubbing?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will address both parts of the question: (a) calculating the number of electrons transferred and (b) determining the charge of rubbing. ### Step 1: Understanding the Charge on the Ebonite Rod The ebonite rod has a charge of \(-3.2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C}\). This negative charge indicates that electrons have been added to the rod. ### Step 2: Charge of a Single Electron The charge of a single electron is approximately \(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}\). ...
