Answer

Charge on object A = $+1.6\times10^{-13}\text{ Coulomb}$ Charge on object B = $−3.2×10^{−13} \text{ Coulomb}$

Work Step by Step

1 million = $10^6$ 2 million electrons are removed from object A and placed on object B. Charge of 2 million electron = $2×10^6×$ charge on one electron Charge of 2 million electron = $2×10^6×1.6021×10^{−19} \text{ Coulomb}$ Charge of 2 million electron = $3204.2×10^{−16} \text{ Coulomb}\approx 3.2\times 10^{-13}\text{ Coulomb}$ Charge on object A = $-1.6\times10^{-13}+3.2×10^{−13} = +1.6\times10^{-13}\text{ Coulomb}$ Charge on object B = $−3.2×10^{−13} \text{ Coulomb}$
