Please Help! Weve just started Physics II and I am lost already. We have been studying Electric forces and fields and now my homework is due tonight by 11pm and I can't even answerer the first question. I thought this would be an easy chapter since there weren't many formulas but I am stumped!. This seems like an easy question but I have 5 attempts to get it right and now I've used 4. I must be way off. Well here it goes.
A plate carries a charge of -3.3 uC while a rod acarries a charge of +2.3 uC. How many electrons must be transferred from the plate to the rod so that both objects have the same charge?
Well I thought it would be .5 because it would take that many for them to have the same charge but with opp signs. I don't know what formula...doesnt seem like you need one. So far the only one I have is N=q/e
