(a)
Given that
charge, q = -3.80 μC = -3.80 * 10^-6 C
No. of electrons
n = q/e = (-3.80 * 10^-6 C) / (-1.6 * 10^-19 C) = 2.375 * 10^13
electrons
(b)
Since you have the excess electrons, the electrons jump from you to
the faucet. 1
(c)
Since unlike charges attract, the faucet becomes positively
charged. 1
(d)
The cat is charged positively and due to excess of electrons the
flow of charge is from the faucet to the cat. 1

Question 13 Flying Circus of Physics If a cat repeatedly rubs against your cotton slacks on a dry day, the charge transfer between the cat hair and the cotton can leave you with an excess charge of -2.10 c. (a) How many electrons are transferred between you and the cat? You will gradually discharge via the floor, but if instead of waiting, you immediately reach toward a faucet, a painful spark can suddenly appear as your fingers near the faucet....
Question 5 In the figure particle 1 of charge q1-1.0ЭрС and particle 2 of charge q2--309 μC, are held at separation L-102 cm on an x axis. if particle 3 of unknown charge q3 is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must be the (a)x and (bly coordinates of particle 3? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units Question 6 Three particles are fixed on anx axis. Particle...
