How many electrons pass in one second when current is 1 A?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find out how many electrons pass in one second when the current is 1 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between current, charge, and time. The current (I) is defined as the rate of flow of charge (Q) per unit time (t). Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ I = \frac{Q}{t} \] Where: - \( I \) is the current in amperes (A), - \( Q \) is the charge in coulombs (C), ...
