Question
A current of 3.2 mA flows through a conductor. If charge on an electron is - 1.6 × 10-19 coulomb, find the number of electrons that will pass each second through the cross section of that conductor.
Solution
Q = n × e,
C = 3.2 m A,
Q = - 1.6 × 10-19
3.2 × 1000 = n × -1.6 × 10-19
n = `(3.2 × 1000)/(1.6 × 10^-19)`
= `2/(10^-16)`
n = 2 × 1016
