1. A system of 1525 particles, each of which is either an electron or a proton, has a net charge of -5.456 × 10-17C. (a) how many electrons are in this system? (b) What is the mass of this system?
(a) The electron and protons are having charge of equal magnitude but opposite nature. The magnitude of this charge is e = 1.6*10-19 C, the electrons charge is negative and the proton is having positive charge.
let the number of electrons in the system is N then the number of protons will be 1525 - N. hence net charge of the system is given by
N(-e) + (1525 - N)e = -5.456*10-17
Or 1525 - 2N ...
