Answer» The overall QUANTITY and TYPE of charge on an object is dependent UPON the relative number of protons and ELECTRONS in the object. To determine the quantity of charge, multiply the charge of one electron by the number of excess or deficient electrons. The type of the charge is dependent upon whether there are more protons or more electrons present in the object. If there are more protons, then the charge is +; otherwise, assign it a - value. |
