If a body has a charge of /(10^{-12}\) coulomb :
the body has \(6.25\times 10^{6} \)excess of electrons
the body has \( 625\times 10^{6}\) excess of electrons
the body has \(6.25\times 10^{6}\) deficiency of electrons
the body has \(6.25\times 10^{3} \)deficiency of electrons

Solution:

To determine the deficiency of electrons for a body with a charge of 1012C10^{-12} \, \text{C}, follow these steps:

  1. Charge of a single electron: The charge of one electron is e=1.6×1019Ce = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}.
  2. Number of electrons (deficiency): The total number of electrons causing the charge is given by:

    n=Total chargeCharge of one electron=10121.6×1019=6.25×106.n = \frac{\text{Total charge}}{\text{Charge of one electron}} = \frac{10^{-12}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} = 6.25 \times 10^{6}.

  3. Interpretation: Since the body is positively charged, it has a deficiency of 6.25×1066.25 \times 10^6 electrons.
