To find the number of excess electrons on a small lead sphere with a net charge of \(-3.20 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between charge and number of electrons The total charge \(Q\) on the sphere can be expressed in terms of the number of excess electrons \(n\) as: \[ Q = n \cdot e \] where \(e\) is the charge of a single electron, which is approximately \(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}\). ...
