Question

how many electrons pass through a conductor in 3 seconds if the current passing through is 10 ampere​

Answer 1

Answer:

How many electrons pass through a conductor in 0.2 sec if the current passing through it is 0.5 A?

Current is the amount of charge passing through a conductor in a particular interval of time.

So according to the definition, the formula for the current is:

I = Q/t

I = 0.5 A and t = 0.2 sec

Therefore,

Q = I*t

Q = 0.5*0.2 = 0.1 C

One electon consists of a charge of 1.6*10^-19 C. Then the number of electrons passing would be:

Q = n*e

n = Q/e

n = 0.1/(1.6*10^-19) = 6.25*10^17 electrons
