What number of electrons would carry a total charge of one coulomb?

Answer 1

There are #6.25 xx 10^(18)# electrons per coulomb of charge

In response, I will provide you with the opposite (inverse) value: 96 350 coulombs, or a Faraday of charge, would be the total charge on 1.0 mole of electrons if you could gather them all together.

Alternatively, you could take the reciprocal of the elementary charge, #1.6xx10^(-19)# coulombs per electron, and you would have the number of electrons per coulomb:

#1/ (1.6xx10^(-19)) = 6.25 xx 10^(18)# electrons per coulomb.

The charge of one electron is approximately ( -1.602 \times 10^{-19} ) coulombs.

The number of electrons required to carry a total charge of one coulomb is ( \frac{1 , \text{C}}{-1.602 \times 10^{-19} , \text{C/electron}} ).

The result is approximately ( 6.242 \times 10^{18} ) electrons.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
