when two neutral objects are rubbed against each other they acquire a charge of magnitude 1.6 micro coulomb.which particle(s) is (are) transfered in the process and how many ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok, you are looking for a sub atomic particle that is charged , take a guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not. i am asking for the particles. that how many are transfeered during the charging process (rubbing) ??

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the question asks for both,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah..you can say. so can you look at this one please... i am needy !!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so the three sub atomic particle you should know are the proton \(p^+\) the electron \(e^-\) the neutron \(n\) proton and neutrons are nucleons, which means they reside in the nucleus of the atom, the electrons are in electron shells around the nucleus

I THINK YOU ARE NOT GETTING MY QUESTIONS. BC'Z THATS ALL I KNOW.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I think the question is simpler than the above posts. It asks "which particle(s) is (are) transfered in the process and how many" The particles that are being transferred are electrons and you are given the fact that 1.6 uC are transferred. The only missing info you need to solve this is the fact that 1 electron has a charge of 1.6x10^-19C.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the proton is positively charged the electron is negatively charged the magnitude of that charge per electron or per proton is \[1.6\times10^{-19} [\text C ]\] where Cis for Coulombs of charge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I HAVE'NT UNDERSTOOD HOW MANY PARTICLES ARE TRANSFERED ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

only the electrons can be 'rubbed off ' because the are on the boundary of the atom,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

charge acquired \[1.6 \mu [\text C]=1\times10^{-6}[\text C]\] how many electrons is this if electrons are charged \(1.6\times10^{-19} [\text C ]/[e^-]\)? \[e^-=\frac{1\times10^{-6}[\text C]}{1.6\times10^{-19} [\text C ]/[e^-]}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i left off the .6 by accident

OpenStudy (anonymous):

electrons are transferred 1.6 micro coulomb -------------- fundemental charge of electron google fundamental charge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge 1.602176565(35)×10^−19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically, what the others are saying is this: 1 electron has charge of 1.6*10^(-19) C so how many electrons will have the charge of 1.6 micro C [=1.6*10^(-6) C]. now can u take this further?
