Determine the number of electrons flowing per second through a conductor, when a current of 32A flows through it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I=32A, t=1s`
Charge of an electron, `c=1.6xx10^(19)C`
The number of electrons flowing per second, `n =? `
`I=(q)/(t)=(n e)/(t)`
`n=(I t)/(e )=(32xx1)/(1.6xx10^(-19)C)=20xx10^(19)=2xx10^(20)` electrons
