Answer:
An electric current of 1 ampere is equal to 1 coulomb of charge passing a point in a circuit every second: Therefore a current of 1 ampere = 6.242 × 10^18 electrons moving past any point in a circuit every second.

I = dq/dt
1 A = 1 C per second
1 electron's change = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
so one coulomb = 1 / e = 6.22 x 10^18 electrons
therefore 1 A = 6.22 x 10^18 electrons flowing per second
