Basic Properties Of Electric Charge

Step 1: Recall the charge of a single electron.
The elementary charge, which is the magnitude of the charge of a single electron (or proton), is approximately Coulombs (C). Step 2: Determine the number of electrons required to make one coulomb of charge.
Let be the number of electrons whose total charge is equal to 1 Coulomb. The total charge of electrons is given by . We want this total charge to be equal to 1 C: Step 3: Solve for . Step 4: Express the result in the required format.
We can rewrite the number of electrons in scientific notation: Comparing this value with the given options, the closest value is electrons.
