Electric charge calculation question?
Honeybees in flight can acquire electric charge. In this question, you will examine the effect of this charge.
Measurements show that a honeybee in active flight can acquire an electrostatic charge as great as 92 pC. 1 pC = 1 x 10-12 C.
How many electrons must be transferred to produce this charge?
Suppose two bees, each with a charge of 92 pC, are separated by a distance of 1.21 cm . Treating the bees as point charges, find the magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by the bees.
Compare the force calculated in previous q to the weight of a 0.135919 gram bee. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m s-2. Divide the force from Q 8 by your answer for the weight to see the difference in scale

you can look up the charge of an electron so finding the number of electrons is easy.
The force between the bee's is given by coulombs law.
the third question is self explanatory.
Let me know thru comments if you have any trouble with the math.
