Hey
We know,
--> Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge
=> I = Q / t ;
Now,
--> 1.5 A = Q / 2s
=> Q = 3 As = 3C
Hence, three coulomb charge flows through the conductor in 2s..
Again,
--> Q = ne [ where e = charge of an electron = 1.6 * 10^(-19)C ]
Hence, n = Q/e = ( 3 / 1.6 ) * 10^19 = 1.88 * 10^19
So, finally, the amount of charge passing through the conductor at defined interval = 1.88 * 10^19
Hope this helps ^_^
