An electric gun emits `2.0xx10^(16)` electrons per second. What electric current does this correspond to ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. of electrons per second
`=2 xx (10^16) electrons /s.`
Charge passing per second
` = 2 xx (10^16) xx 1.6 xx (10^-13)`
` = 3.2 xx (10^-3) coulomb per second `
` Current = 3.2 xx (10^-3)A` .
