Answer:
3.125 × 10¹³ Electrons
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Charge per unit length on rod = 0.00500 C/m
Length of the rod = 1 mm = 1 × 10⁻³ m
Therefore, the total charge on the rod
= Charge per unit length on rod × Length of the rod
= 0.00500 C/m × ( 1 × 10⁻³ m)
= 5 × 10⁻⁶ C
Thus,
Number of electrons removed
= total charge on the rod ÷ Charge of an electron
= 5 × 10⁻⁶ ÷ (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)
= 3.125 × 10¹³ Electrons
