An object has a charge of 50 electrons. What is the charge on the object in picocoulomb
One electron carries a charge of approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 Coulombs. To find the charge on the object in picocoulombs, first find the charge in Coulombs and then convert to picocoulombs.
Charge in Coulombs = (number of electrons) * (charge per electron)
Charge in Coulombs = (50 electrons) * (1.6 x 10^-19 C/electron)
Charge in Coulombs = 8 x 10^-18 C
Now, convert to picocoulombs:
1 picocoulomb (pC) = 1 x 10^-12 C
So, to convert the charge to picocoulombs, divide by 1 x 10^-12:
Charge in pC = (8 x 10^-18 C) / (1 x 10^-12 C/pC)
Charge in pC = 8 x 10^-6 pC
Therefore, the charge on the object is 8 x 10^-6 picocoulombs.
