SUMMARY
To achieve a positive charge of 1X10-6 Coulombs on a neutral isolating conducting sphere, 6.24X1012 electrons must be removed. This calculation is derived from the formula Fe=q/e, where 'q' represents the charge and 'e' is the elementary charge of an electron, approximately -1.602X10-19 Coulombs. The result indicates that the number of electrons removed is a positive value, confirming that the charge becomes positive upon removal.
