Question

one coulomb charge is equal to charge_electron

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

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

e = 1.6 x 10^-19C

∴ q = 1 C

Step 2: Concept used

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

Electrons constituting one coulomb of charge,

q = ne

where,

q = Charge

e = number of electrons

Step 3: Find the number of electrons

\(n=\frac{q}{e}\)

\(n=\frac{1}{(1.6\times 10^ {-19})}\)

n = 6.25 x 10¹⁸ electrons

≅ 6 x 10¹⁸ electrons

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