A wire carries a current of 2.0 A. The number of electrons crossing through its cross-section in 10 s will be |
$1.6 × 10^{19}$ $1.25 × 10^{18}$ $2.5 × 10^{20}$ $1.25 × 10^{20}$ |
$1.25 × 10^{20}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $1.25 × 10^{20}$ Given: $I = 2.0 \, A$, $t = 10 \, s$ Charge flowing, $Q = I \times t = 2 \times 10 = 20 \, C$ Number of electrons, $n = \frac{Q}{e}$ $n = \frac{20}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$ $n = 1.25 \times 10^{20}$ Answer: $1.25 \times 10^{20}$ electrons |
