To find the number of electrons flowing through a conducting wire per second when a current of 1 A is flowing, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between current, charge, and time The current (I) flowing through a conductor is defined as the amount of charge (Q) that passes through a cross-section of the conductor per unit time (T). This relationship is given by the formula: \[ I = \frac{Q}{T} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to find charge From the formula above, we can rearrange it to find the charge: ...
