A metal wire carries a current of 1A. How many electrons can pass through a point in the wire in 1 s ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electricity flowing through any single point in the wire `=1xx1=1C`.
Electricity carried by `6.023xx10^(23)` of electrons `= 96500C`.
Hence, 1 C of electricity is carried by `(6.022xx10^(23))/(96500)`
`=6.24xx10^(18)" electrons."`
