When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +15pC. How many electrons did it lose in the process of acquiring this charge?
Relevant knowledge:
If an atom loses electrons and transforms into a positively charged Ion.
One electron is charged of the magnitude 1.602 x 10-19 C
Solition)
Given,
Charge, q=+15 pC = 15*10^-12 C
We know Charge, q= n*e
Where, e= electron charge =1.6*10-19
Also, the Number of electrons is n= q/e
=(15*10-12C)/(1.6*10-19C)= 9.37*107 Electrons (Ans).
