Answer:
[tex]q=8\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The charge of a single proton is [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]
There are 5 protons in the nucleus. The nuclear charge of an atom of boron is given by :
[tex]q=5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\q=8\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]
So, the required charge is [tex]8\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex].
