As the result of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the sun (see internet website http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/sunearthsystem/main/News080210- cme.html for an example of a CME) a spherical metallic satellite, 6.50 m in diameter, acquired a surface charge density of -980 x 106 C/m² in one orbit of the earth during the exposure to the CME. Unfortunately, this excess electrical charge caused the satellite to stop working!! Based on this charge density, approximately how many excess electrons did the satellite accumulate during the exposure? Give your answer in the form of "a.bc x 10^(x)" electrons.
