9.1 x 10-31 kg.
A kilogram is equal to 1 x 10 mg. What is the mass of an electron
in milligrams?


Sagot :

1 electron has a mass of 9.1 X 10-31 kg. How many electrons n does it take to make 1 kg?

(1 e)/(9.1 X 10-31 kg) = n/(1 kg)

So, n = 1.10 X 1030 electrons

Each electron has a charge of 1.6 X 10-19 C, where C stands for Coulombs. So, the n electrons have a charge of q = ne = (1.10 X 1030 electrons) X (1.6 X 10-19 C/electron) = 1.76 X 1011 C.
