Initially, conductor A has +1.8 C of charge, and conductor B is negatively charged. After 7.5 x 1018 electrons are moved from B to A, both conductors have the same charge. Calculate the initial charge of conductor B.(Give your answer in coulombs)
1.) Human nerve cells have a net negative charge and the material in the interior of the cell is a good conductor. If a cell has a net charge of -8.65x10^-12 C, what are the magnitude and direction (inward or outward) of the net flux through the cell boundary? What is the charge density passing through the cell? Assume that the portion of the cell in question is spherical.

In an electrically neutral insulator, electrons are *not* able to move around freely as they can in a conductor. How, then, is it possible for an external electric field to induce a charge distribution in a chunk of insulating material?
