Neutral Balloon: Examining its Charge After Electron Removal

AI Thread Summary
Removing 13,000 electrons from a neutral balloon results in a net positive charge. The formula q=ne, where 'n' represents the number of electrons removed, is used to calculate the charge. Each electron has a charge of approximately -1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs. Therefore, the total charge of the balloon after the removal can be calculated by multiplying the number of removed electrons by the charge of a single electron. The balloon will have a charge of approximately +2.08 x 10^-15 coulombs.

You have a neutral balloon

What is its charge after 13000 electrons have been removed from it?

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

What do you think "q=ne" means?
 
What will be the charge for single electron.

How many electrons u have been given.

So the balloon will be deprived by how many electrons?
 
Never mind, I figured it out
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
