You have rubbed a rubber balloon in your hair until 1.86 * 10^10 electrons were transferred. If your hair and the balloon were originally uncharged, what is the new charge of the balloon? Answer to the nearest 0.01 nC.

Determine the quantity of charge on a plastic tube which has been rubbed with animal fur and gained 3.8x10^9 electrons. Determine the quantity of charge on a vinyl balloon which has been rubbed with animal fur and gained 1.7x10^12 electrons. Determine the quantity of charge on an acetate strip which has been rubbed with wool and lost 7.3x10^8 electrons. (Use 8.99 x 10^9 N·m^2/C^2 for Coulomb's constant and 1.60x10^-19 C for the charge of an electron.)
