A copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\,eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\mathop A\limits^o $. The effect of irradiation results in the emission of electrons from the ball. Further the ball will acquire charge and due to this there will be a finite value of the potential on the ball. The charge acquired by the ball is
