To show that one ampere is equivalent to the flow of \(6.25 \times 10^{18}\) elementary electrons per second, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the relationship between current, charge, and time
The current \(I\) in a circuit is defined as the amount of charge \(Q\) flowing through a conductor per unit time \(t\). Mathematically, this is expressed as:
\[
I = \frac{Q}{t}
\]
