If a number of electrons pass through the cross-section of a conductor in time t, what is the electric current flowing through it?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If n electrons pass through the cross-section of a conductor in time t, the amount of electric charge passing through the cross-section would be
Q=ne, where, e = charge of an electron Now according to definition of electric current,
`I = Q/t`
`:. I = ("ne")/t`
