Question

A glass rod, with a charge of 5.4x108 C touches a neutral insulator so that all of the excess electrons are shared equally. What is the final charge on the rod?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.7 x 10⁸ C

Explanation:

IF the excess electrons are shared equally, the final charge of the rod will be half the original charge, so

5.4 x 10⁸ / 2 = 2.7 x 10⁸

So, the answer is 2.7 x 10⁸ C
