Answer

(a) $2.06\times 10^{-13}C$ (b) $-7.5\times 10^{-18}C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Q_{net}=N_pe+N_e(-e)=e(N_p-N_e)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q_{net}=(1.6\times 10^{-19})(7.44\times 10^6-6.15\times 10^6)=2.06\times 10^{-13}C$ (b) We know that $Q_{net}=N_pe+N_e(-e)=e(N_p-N_e)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q_{net}=(1.6\times 10^{-19})(165- 212)=-7.5\times 10^{-18}C$
