Question:

An electron gun emits $3 \times 10^{16}$ electrons per second. What electric current does this correspond to?

Options:

4.8 A

1.9 A

4.8 µA

4.8 mA

Correct Answer:

4.8 mA

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 4.8 mA

To calculate the electric current corresponding to the emission of electrons -

$I=n.e$

$I=(3×10^{16})×(1.6×10^{-19})$

$=4.8mA$
