If 10^9 electrons move out of a body to another body every second, how much time is required to get a total charge of 1 C on the other body? |
|
Answer» Solution :In one SECOND `10^9`electrons move out of the body. The charge given out in one second is `1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx 10^(9)C = 10^(-10) C`. The time required to accumulate a charge of 1 C can then be estimated to be `t = 1 C div (1.6 xx 10^(-10) C//s) = 6.25 xx 10^(9)s` `= 6.25 xx 10^9 div (365 xx 24 xx 3600) ` YEARS = 198 years. One coulomb is a very large UNIT for many PRACTICAL purposes. |
