Question:

1. A plastic rod is rubbed against a wool shirt, thereby acquiring a charge of –0.8 μC. How many electrons are transferred from the wool shirt to the plastic rod?

2. If the sign convention for charge were changed so that the charge on the electron were positive and the charge on the proton were negative, would Coulomb's law still be written the same?
