The new charge of the ball will amount to 8x10^8C after removing 5x10^27 electrons.
Explanation:
Initially, if the sphere is electrically neutral, its charge stands at 0C.
When an electron with a charge of (-1.6*10^-19 C) is taken away, we effectively add a positive charge, leading to:
1.6*10^-19 C as the sphere's new charge.
For a total of N electrons removed, the sphere's overall charge now becomes:
N*1.6*10^-19 C.
To calculate N when:
N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C.
We find that N is: (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.
