Title: Electrostatic discharge

Q: Confused John Travoltage has been electrically charged from walking around on the carpet and now wants to head out through the door. Before he touches the door handle he is charged with Q = 2.4 mC.

a) How many electrons are equivalent to Q = 2.4 mC?
b) Estimate the current for a 250 ms electrical discharge at the doorhandle?
- a) 1.5 x 10^16 electrons (correct)
- a) 3 x 10^16 electrons (So you'e one of those?)
- b) 9.6 mA (correct)
- b) 4.8 mA
