Answer:
Explanation:
The ball from which electrons are transferred will acquire Q charge and the ball receiving electrons will acquire – Q charge . force of attraction between them
= k Q² / d²
9 x 10⁹ x Q² / .12² = 17 X 10⁻³
Q² = .0272 X 10⁻¹²
Q = .1650 X 10⁻⁶ C
No of electrons = .1650 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹
= .103125 x 10¹³
1.03125 x 10¹²
