Chapter 4, Problem 107P(choose chapter or problem)
Electrical charge is sometimes reported in coulombs (C). On this scale, 1 electron has a charge of \(-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\). Suppose your body acquires -125 mC (millicoulombs) of charge on a dry day. How many excess electrons has it acquired? (Hint: Use the charge of an electron in coulombs as a conversion factor between charge and electrons.)

ANSWER:
Solution 107P
Charge of an electron = −1.6 × 10−19 C
Charge acquired by the body=-125mC=-125× 10
