you are told that a 10-cm piece of wire is charged. from measurements, you find that the wire holds a charge of -5 c. how many electrons are in this -5-c charge?

The number of electrons in this -5-c charge is 2.63  × 10¹⁹ electrons.An electron is a subatomic particle whose charge is the negative elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the leptonic particle family and are generally considered elementary particles because they have no known composition or substructure.Electrons are the smallest particles that make up an atom and have a negative charge. In neutral atoms, the number of protons and electrons is the same. For example, a hydrogen atom has only one electron and one proton. On the other hand, a uranium atom has 92 protons and therefore 92 electrons.Q =ne-5 = n × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹number of electrons = 5/1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹                                       = 2.63  × 10¹⁹ electronsLearn more about electrons here:-https://brainly.com/question/860094#SPJ4
