Answer

$n = 2.0 \times 10^{10} $

Work Step by Step

To find excess neutron, n when the volume charge density, $\rho$ is uniform, we need to use this equation $n = \frac{q}{-e} $ and $dq = \rho A dx$ $\rho=– 4.00 \times 10^{–6} C/m^3$ $A = 4.0cm^2$ $L = 2.00 m$ $n = \frac{dq}{-e} $ $n =\frac{ \rho A}{-e} \int^L_0 dx$ $n =\frac{ |\rho| AL}{-e}$ $n = \frac{(4.00 \times 10^{–6} C/m^3)( 0.0004m^2)(2.0m)}{-1.6 \times 10^{-19} C}$ $n = 2.0 \times 10^{10} $
