In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the prisoners in charge of Eliezer's block were removed from their positions because they were no longer deemed useful or were replaced as part of the camp's constant reshuffling. This often happened when the guards sought to eliminate any semblance of authority or cooperation among the prisoners, as it could pose a threat to their control. Additionally, the constant fear and brutality within the camps meant that even those who held power among the prisoners could be dispossessed at any moment.

Where was pickett during picketts charge the charge?

Despite claims that Pickett observed the charge far to the rear, he was actually positioned at the Codori yard at the Emmitsburg Road, only several hundred yards from the Union line. This is where a division commander is supposed to be during combat, and claiming that Pickett cowardly stayed towards the rear is a completely illegitimate claim. Testimony to how close to the fighting Pickett was can be demonstrated in that when Stannard's Vermont brigade counterattacked the Confederate flank at the close of the charge, Pickett's observation position was overrun by skirmishers just minutes after he left.

A 2-mm-diameter copper ball is charged to plus 50 nC What fraction of its electrons have been removed?

To find the fraction of electrons removed, we need to calculate the total charge of the copper ball when neutral, then compare it to the charge when +50 nC. Each electron has a charge of -1.6 x 10^-19 C. The number of electrons removed can be found by dividing the difference in charge by the charge of an electron. This will give us the fraction of electrons removed.
