प्रश्न
A paisa coin is made up of Al-Mg alloy and weighs 0.75g. It has a square shape and its diagonal measures 17 mm. It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charges.
Treating the paisa coins made up of only Al, find the magnitude of equal number of positive and negative charges. What conclusion do you draw from this magnitude?
उत्तर
1 Molar mass M of Al has NA = 6.023 × 1023 atoms.
∴ m = mass of Al paisa coin has N = NA m/M atoms
Now, ZAl = 13, MAl = 26.9815 g
Hence N = 6.02 × 1023 atoms/mol × 0.75/26.9815g/mol
= 1.6733 × 1022 atoms
∴ q = +ve charge in paisa = N Ze
= (1.67 × 1022)(13) (1.60 × 10–19C)
= 3.48 × 104 C
q = 34.8 kC of ±ve charge.
This is an enormous amount of charge. Thus we see that ordinary neutral matter contains an enormous amount of ± charges.

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.
It is now believed that protons and neutrons (which constitute nuclei of ordinary matter) are themselves built out of more elementary units called quarks. A proton and a neutron consist of three quarks each. Two types of quarks, the so called ‘up’ quark (denoted by u) of charge (+2/3) e, and the ‘down’ quark (denoted by d) of charge (−1/3) e, together with electrons build up ordinary matter. (Quarks of other types have also been found which give rise to different unusual varieties of matter.) Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and neutron.
