How many electrons are passing per second in a circuit in which there is a current of 5 A ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Current `I=5A`
Time (t) = 1 second
Charge of electron `e=1.6xx10^(-19)C`
`I=q/t=("ne")/(t)`
Number of electron, n `=("It")/(e )`
`=(5xx1)/(1.6xx10^(-19))`
`n=3.125xx10^(19)`
