how many electrons pass through a lamp in one minute if the current is 300 Milli ampere?
Answers
Answer:
Here, current I = 300 mA = 0.3 A
time t = 1 minute = 60 seconds
Now, charge Q = I x t = 0.3 x 60 = 18 coulomb
and no. of electrons = (total charge)/(charge on 1 electron)
no. of electrons = (18)/(1.6 x 10-19)
= 1.125 x 1020 electrons

1.125 × 10^20 electrons pass through a lamp in one minute if the current is 300 mA.
Given,
current, I = 300 mA
time = 1 min = 60 seconds
To find,
The number of electrons, 'n' passing through the lamp.
Solution,
The given current, I = 300 mA = 0.3 A
and the time, t = 60 seconds
since we know the charge,
Q = I x t
= 0.3 x 60 = 18 C
now, number of electrons
n = Q/e (Q = total charge, e = charge of an electron)
⇒n = (18)/(1.6 x )
⇒ n = 1.125 x
Hence, we can conclude that the number of electrons passing through the lam in a minute is 1.125 × 10^20.
