Magnitude of the charge of a single electron


Before adjusting an electronics experiment, you want to make sure a capacitor you've been using is fully discharged. (Otherwise, you might get a nasty shock!) During the experiment, the 3.50e-5 F capacitor was charged by a 5.0 V potential difference. When you turn the experiment off, the capacitor discharges through a 2.0×104 O resistor. Mathematically speaking, the capacitor never fully discharges; however, practically speaking, we might consider the capacitor to be "fully discharged" when the charge left on it is less than the magnitude of the charge of a single electron: -1.6×10-19 C. How long do you have to wait after turning the experiment off for this to occur?
