A balloon is given a charge of -1x10^-3 C. How many electrons were transferred on or off the balloon? (3 pts) b. Were electrons transferred on or off the balloon? Explain your answer.
Added by F-Tima L.
Step 1
Given charge on the balloon = -1x10^-3 C Charge of one electron = -1.6x10^-19 C Number of excess electrons = (charge on balloon) / (charge of one electron) Show more…
