$A$ copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\, eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\, \mathring{A}$. 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:
