Calculate using coulombs: an object has 6 protons and 8 electrons. Calculate the magnitude of the charge of the objects. Thank you.

-3.2 ×1.6 ×10^-19C

Explanation:

Number of proton = 6

Number of electron = 8

To determine the quantity of the charge, we would first find the difference between the number of

protons and electrons. Then multiply the difference by charge 1.6 x 10 -19 C to determine the charge on the object.

Difference between proton and electron is elementary charge

Elementary charge = proton - electron

= 6 - 8

Elementary charge = -2e

Recall, charge (q) = 1.6 ×10^-19C

1e = 1.6 ×10^-19C

Magnitude of the charge of object = -2× (1.6 ×10^-19C)

Magnitude of the charge of object = -3.2 ×1.6 ×10^-19C

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
