To calculate the charge acquired by the sphere, you need to know the charge of an electron. The charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10^(-19) coulombs.
Given that 1000 electrons are removed from the sphere, we can calculate the total charge acquired by the sphere using the formula:
Charge = Number of electrons x Charge of one electron
Charge = 1000 electrons x (-1.6 x 10^(-19) C)
Charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19) C x 1000
Charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19) C x 10^3
Charge = -1.6 x 10^(-16) C
Therefore, the sphere acquires a charge of -1.6 x 10^(-16) coulombs.
To calculate the charge acquired by the sphere, we need to know the charge of a single electron. The charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10^(-19) coulombs.
Given that 1000 electrons are removed from the sphere, we can calculate the total charge acquired using the formula:
Total charge = Charge per electron × Number of electrons
Total charge = (-1.6 x 10^(-19) C) × (1000 electrons)
Total charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19) C × 1000
Total charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19) C × 10^3
Total charge = -1.6 x 10^(-19 + 3) C
Total charge = -1.6 x 10^(-16) C
Therefore, the charge acquired by the sphere is -1.6 x 10^(-16) coulombs.
