Step 1
The problem states that a glass rod, when rubbed with silk, acquires a charge of 7.50 nC (nanocoulombs). We need to find the change in mass of the rod due to this charge. We know the mass of an electron, which is 9.11 × 10^-31 kg. Show more…

A glass rod rubbed with silk acquires a charge of $+8.0 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{C} .$ (a) Is the charge on the silk (1) positive, (2) zero, or (3) negative? Why? (b) What is the charge on the silk, and how many electrons have been transferred to the silk? (c) How much mass has the glass rod gained or lost?
