The charge of an electron is -1.60x10^-19 C. Determine the charge to mass ratio of the electron (in 10^11 C/kg). (Hint: divide the electron's charge by its mass (9.11x10^-31 kg); this ratio is a negative number with a positive exponent.) Enter the decimal portion only (called the mantissa) with the negative sign. In standard scientific notation, the mantissa should have value between 1 and 10. Do not include the units or exponent in your answer as they are given in the question as 10^11 C/kg.

Find the mass of enough electrons to make up 7.8 C of charge. Each electron has a charge of 1.6x10^-19 C and a mass of 9.1x10^-31 kg. Express your answer in 10^-11 kg. For example, if your calculator says 6.23x10^-11 kg, then just put 6.23 into D2L. By the way, this part is called the 'mantissa'.

The mass of an electron is 9.109 × 10^−31 kg, and the magnitude of the charge of an electron is 1.602 × 10^−19 C. What is the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two electrons? 4.165 × 10^42. 2.390 × 10^−43. 3.093 × 10^22. 3.233 × 10^−23
