A red blood cell contains 4.0 107 free electrons. what is the total charge of these electrons in the red blood cell?

A single red blood cell contains 4 x 10⁷ electrons. To calculate the total charge of the electrons we have to multiply the number of electrons by the charge per single electron.

The charge carried by a single electron is - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs / electron

Number of electrons in a blood cell - 4 x 10⁷ electrons

Therefore total charge of electrons in the red blood cell - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C x 4 x10⁷

total charge - 6.4 x 10⁻¹² C
