A hummingbird gains a significant electric charge while flying and feeding. This has consequences: When a charged bird approaches a flower, the stamens of the flower bend toward the bird, even though the stamens are uncharged. Explain how this happens.
An amoeba has 2.00X1016 protons and a net charge of 0.480 pC. (keep at least 4 places of decimal until your final calculation)
(a) Calculate the number of electrons that is in the amoeba.
(b) If you paired them up, what fraction of the protons would have no electrons?
