Answer:
72 × 10 19 C
Explanation:
Both electron and proton have the same amount of charge but signs are opposite , electron contains negative charge and proton contain positive charge
Charge on 1 electron = 1.6 × 10 19 C
So charge on 206 electron = 206 × 1.6 × 10 19 C
Charge on 1 proton = 1.6 × 10 19 C
So charge on 161 electron = 106 × 1.6 × 10 19 C
So charge of the system = ( 206 + 161 ) × 1.6 × 10 19 C
= 72 × 10 19 C
