A small region of an impure silicon crystal with dimensions 1.25 × 10-6 m ×10-3 m ×10-3 m has only the ions (with charge +1.6 10-19 C) present with a volume density of 10²5/m³. The rest of the crystal volume contains equal densities of electrons (with charge -1.6 × 10¬19 C) and positive ions. Find the net total charge of the crystal.
