Question

Calculate the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge.


Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Given data

To figure out how many electrons make up one coulomb of charge,

e=1.6×1019C

q=1C

Step 2: Concept used

An electron's charge is negative and is 1.6×10-19coulomb.

Electrons constituting one coulomb of charge,

q=ne

where,

q = charge

e= number of electrons

Step 3: Find the number of electrons

n=qe

n=11.6×1019

n=6.25×1018electrons

6×1018electrons

Therefore, the number of electrons in one coulomb of charge is 6×1018electrons.
