The discussion revolves around determining the charge of a neutral balloon after the removal of electrons, specifically focusing on the implications of removing 13,000 electrons. The subject area pertains to electrostatics and charge quantification.
The conversation includes attempts to clarify the meaning of the formula and the implications of the electron removal. One participant has indicated they resolved their question, suggesting some progress in understanding.
There is a focus on the definitions and implications of charge, particularly in relation to the number of electrons involved. The original poster's uncertainty about the formula indicates a potential gap in understanding the relationship between charge and electron count.

I know you have to use, q=ne but I don't know what to plug in for n
