one ampere is equivalent to one Coulomb of charge flowing per second. Since each electron carries 1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs of charge, a current of one ampererepresents a flow of (1/1.6) x 10+19 electrons or 6.22 x 10+18 electrons each second. The above applies to a steady flow of 1 ampere of direct current (DC).

Answer:
One ampere current is carried by 6.25×10¹⁸ electrons in the time of one second.
Explanation:
As we know that, the charge on one electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹coulombs
One coulomb charge passes in one second is called one ampere of current.
1.6×10⁻¹⁹coulombs carried by electrons = 1
One coulomb charge transferred by electrons
Therefore 6.25×10¹⁸ electrons constitutes 1 ampere of current .
