- A metal rod contains 3x1020 protons and 5x10^20 electrons. What is the net electric charge on this metal rod? What is the electric charge of 2.5x1015 protons?arrow_forwardBecause the charges on the electron and proton have the same absolute value, atoms are electrically neutral. Suppose that this is not precisely true, and the absolute value of the charge of the electron is less than the charge of the proton by 0.00100%. Estimate what the net charge of this textbook would be under these circumstances. Make any assumptions you feel are justified, but state clearly what they are. (Hint: Most of the atoms in this textbook have equal numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons.) What would be the magnitude of the electric force between two textbooks placed 5.0 m apart? Would this force be attractive or repulsive?
