The charge of an electron is −1.60×10−19 C. A current of 1 A flows in a wire carried by electrons. How many electrons pass through a cross section of the wire each second?
A wire passes a charge of 15.0 C. How many electrons pass through the wire?
Electric current is measured in ampere (A). If an ampere is expressed as a flow of charge in coulombs per seconds (C/s), how many electrons passes at a given point for a conductor carrying 8A current in 1.5 minute? The charge on an electron is approximately 1.6 x 10 -19 C.
