Question

how many electrons should flow to a conductor in 1 second to constitute a current of 1 ampere

Answer 1

An ampere of current is one coulomb of charge passing through a conductor in one second. no. of electrons need to constitue 1 Columb Charge = 1 1.6 x 10 − 19 = 6.25 x 10 18 . electrons. Therefore 6.25 x 10 18 electrons flow per second through a conductor if 1 Ampere current is measured through it.
