A body has a positive charge of `8xx10^(-19)C`. It has :

A

an excess of 5 electrons

B

a deficiency of 5 electrons

C

an excess of 8 electrons

D

a deficiency of 8 electrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`q= n e`
`n = (q)/(e ) =(8 xx 10^(-19)C)/(1.6 xx 10^(-19)C)`
`=5` electrons
Body gets positively changed due to deficiency of 5 electrons.
