Solve the same for protons

### Number of Electrons in One Coulomb of Charge Determine the number of electrons contained in a charge of 1 Coulomb: #### Multiple Choice Options: - a) \( 6.25 \times 10^{21} \) - b) \( 6.25 \times 10^{20} \) - c) \( 6.25 \times 10^{25} \) - d) \( 6.25 \times 10^{23} \) **Explanation:** Each electron carries a charge of approximately \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) Coulombs. Therefore, the number of electrons in 1 Coulomb of charge can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Number of electrons} = \frac{\text{Total charge (Coulombs)}}{\text{Charge per electron (Coulombs)}} \] So, \[ \text{Number of electrons} = \frac{1 \text{ C}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C/electron}} \approx 6.25 \times 10^{18} \text{ electrons} \] Given the options, the provided answers appear to be referring to powers of 10 in a different magnitude. Double-checking calculations would help clarify this apparent discrepancy.
