Answer

Charge on one electron (e) = 1.6 × 10-19 C

q = 1 C

Let n electrons constitute one coulomb of charge.

∴ q = ne

where,

q = charge
e = charge on one electron
n = number of electrons

⇒ n = qe\dfrac{\text{q}}{\text{e}}

⇒ n = 11.6×1019\dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

= 6.25 x 10-18 ≈ 6 x 10-18

Therefore, the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge is 6 x 10-18
