Question
So what needs to be found is the charge q in coulombs, and the number of particles that make up this charge.
The data values are:
Length (L) of string and ball = 0.23 m
Distance (r) between the balls when repelled = 0.08 m
Mass (m) of each ball = 6 x 10^-6 kg
Calculate the charge q (in coulombs ) on each of the pith balls from the results
Calculate the number of particles (electrons or holes) that make up this charge. In your conclusions, discuss the magnitude of this number.
I am so lost on this, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
