Question

electrostatic charge/coulombs law assignment

1. the elementary charge (e) is a constant equal to the charge of one _______________

a proton
b neutron
c electron
d mitochondria

Explanation:

The elementary charge (e) is the fundamental unit of electric charge. A proton has a charge of +e, an electron has -e, a neutron has 0 charge, and mitochondria are organelles with no electric charge property relevant here. The elementary charge magnitude is defined by the charge of a proton (or the absolute value of an electron's charge), and the question refers to the constant equal to the charge of one of these particles.

Answer:

A. proton, C. electron
