Question:

A wire carries a current of 2.0 A. What is the charge that has flowed through its cross–section in 1.0 s. How many electrons does this correspond to?

Options:

3.0 C, 1.25$\times$ 1019                           

2.0 C, 1.25 $\times$  1019

4.0 C, 1.25 $\times$  1019   

2.0 C, 5.25 $\times$  1019

Correct Answer:

2.0 C, 1.25 $\times$  1019

Explanation:

$ q = it = 2C$

$ n = \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} = 1.25 \times 10^{19}$
