Homework Statement
Human tissue contains about 3·10^27 electrons per kg of material. Suppose two humans each have a mass of 50 kg. We now transfer 0.0005 % of the electrons from the male human to the female. What are the net charges of the two humans afterwards?
Homework Equations
1 electron = 1.602 * 10^-19 Coulombs
The Attempt at a Solution
Took number of electrons per kg of material and multiplied it by the mass of the humans. Then, multiplied the male human's electrons by 0.999995 and the female human's electrons by 1.000005 to find the total amount of electrons on each person after the transfer. Then, multiplied both number of electrons by 1.602*10^-19 to find the charge.
