Question

Suppose an object starts out electrically neutral. Through some process, 11 electrons are removed from the object. What is the electric charge of the object afterward? ANSWER

1. Unselected It has a net charge somewhere between the charge of 11 electrons and 11 protons, but we can’t tell exactly how much.
2. Unselected The stated situation isn’t possible.
3. Unselected It has the same net charge as 11 protons.
4. Unselected It has the same net charge as 11 electrons.

Answer 1

Answer:

3. It has the same net charge as 11 protons.

Explanation:

An electrically neutral object contains the same number of protons and electrons. Therefore, if 11 electrons are removed from it, there will be 11 more protons compared to the number of electrons in the object. Thus, the object It has the same net charge as 11 protons.
