Question
a. An electrically neutral penny, of mass 3.11 g, contains equal number of positive and negative
charges. Assuming the penny is made of pure copper, what is the total positive (or negative) charge
within a penny?
Atomic mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol
Na = 6.02 x 10 atoms / mol (Avogadro's number)
CAADA
Atomic Number of Copper = 29 protons/atom
NOTE: you don't necessarily need chemistry for this.Dimensional analysis!!!
b. Suppose the positive and negative charges could be isolated into two bundles and
separated by a distance of 1.00 km. What would the force of attraction between the
bundles be?
