A small piece of aluminum (atomic number 13) contains 1015 atoms. (The atomic number is the
number of protons; it determines the (positive) electric charge of the nucleus and, thus, the
number of electrons in a neutral atom.) If the piece of aluminum has a net positive charge of
3.0 uC, what fraction of the electrons that the aluminum had when it was neutral would have
had to be lost?
How many electrons would be required to produce 16 μC of negative charge? (e = −1.6 × 10−19 C) (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
A balloon is rubbed with fur and found to have a charge of -3.6 x 10^3 C. How many excess protons does the balloon have?
