Determine how many electrons would one grain have to pick


Much of the material making up Saturn's rings is in the variety of tiny dust grains having radii on the order of 10–6 m. Such grains are placed in a region having a dilute ionized gas, and they pick up surplus electrons. As an approximation, assume each grain is spherical, with radius R = 1.3 x 10–6 m. Determine how many electrons would one grain have to pick up to encompass a potential of –420 V on its surface (taking V = 0 at infinity)?
