The charge of a body is a measure of the imbalance between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). A body can either lose or gain electrons, leading to a net positive or negative charge, respectively. The formula to calculate the charge (Q) of a body is: Q = n e , Where e is the charge of electron and n is the number of electrons.  If a body has 5 x 1018  extra electrons, calculate the charge (Q)  on the body.

Instructions: 1. Read this case:   MIAMI – Delvin Thomas, 44, of West Palm Beach, Florida, the former chairman of the Riviera Beach Housing Authority, has been sentenced to 15 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in December 2022 to one count of extortion under color of official right. Thomas also must forfeit $9,400. In 2019, Thomas was the chairman of the Riviera Beach Housing Authority. In about April 2019, the Riviera Beach Housing Authority was looking to purchase a parcel of real estate located in Riviera Beach for future use as low-income rental property. Thomas introduced a real estate broker to the person at the Riviera Beach Housing Authority responsible for purchasing the property. The broker would serve as the buyer’s agent for the real estate transaction.   The Riviera Beach Housing Authority contracted to purchase the property, with the buyer’s agent set to receive a 3% commission on the price. After the contract was entered into, Thomas informed the buyer’s agent that he (Thomas) was to receive 50% of the commission. At the real estate closing, the buyer’s agent’s company was paid a commission of $18,930, and Thomas reminded the agent about Thomas’s 50% cut ($9,400). To hide the unlawful payment, Thomas contacted a third party who agreed to help. That third party deposited two checks issued to the third party’s business bank account — one for $6,400, the other for $3,000. The checks falsely stated in their memo sections that the payments were for “Company Branding” and “Marketing Services.” Then, the third party issued two checks from that account to the account of Sire Development Group, LLC — a company owned by Thomas. Those checks falsely stated in their memo sections that the payments were for “Consulting Services.”   U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe for the Southern District of Florida and Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey B. Veltri of the FBI, Miami Field Office, announced the sentence imposed in West Palm Beach federal court by U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Mara. FBI Miami investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey N. Kaplan prosecuted it.   Based on what you have learned about extortion under the color of official right, explain: Why it is correct to charge Mr. Thomas with extortion under the color of official right. Your answer must reflect that you understand what extortion under the color of official right is. Why Mr. Thomas and and the buyer’s agent must NOT be charged with bribery.
