      We know that one electron possesses a charge of 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C.
      𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛=𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒/𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑛 1 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛
      =1/1.6×10⁻¹⁹=6.25×10¹⁸
      So, the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge is 6×10¹⁸.

    2. Charge on one electron, e = 1.6 x 10-19 C
      Total charge, Q = 1 C
      Number of electrons, n= Q/e = 1C/1.6x10raise to power-19 = 6.25 x 1018

    3. We know that charge over 1 electron = 1.6 × 10–19 coulomb

      Thus, 1.6 × 10–19 C of charge = 1 electron
      Therefore, 1 C of charge = 1/ (1.6 × 10–19) Electrons
      = 1019/1.6 electrons = 10×1018/1.6 electrons = 6.25 × 1018 electrons

    4. The elementary charge, which is the charge of a single electron (or proton), is approximately
      1.602 × 10^19
      1.602×10^19 coulombs. To calculate the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge, you can use the formula:

      Number of electrons = Total charge (C)/Charge of one electron (C)
      ​
      Substitute the values:

      Number of electrons = 1 C/1.602 ×10 − ^19 C/electron
      ​

      Number of electrons ≈ 6.242 × 10^18 electrons

      So, approximately 6.242 × 10^18 electrons constitute one coulomb of charge.
