Question

A flow of electrons per second in a conduction wire constitute a current of

Answer 1

Answer:

Each electron has 1.6*10^-19 Coulombs of charge, so one Coulomb of charge is equal to 1/(1.6*10^-19) or 6.24*10^18 electrons. One ampere equals a flow of one Coulomb/second or 6.24*10^18 electrons/second, so a flow of 10^7 electrons/second is equal to 10^7/6.24*10^18 amperes = 1.6*10^-12 amperes or 1.6 picoamperes.Sep 4, 2017
