If a current of 5 Amperes flows through the conductor. The number of electrons per second will is

Correct answer: B. 3.12 x 10^19

  • A. 1.6 x 10^19
  • B. 3.12 x 10^19
  • C. 4 x 10^19
  • D. 7.68 x 10^20

Explanation

To calculate the number of electrons per second in a conductor, we can use the equation: number of electrons = (current × time) / (charge of one electron) The charge of one electron is approximately 1.6 × 10^-19 coulombs. Assuming the time interval is 1 second, we have: number of electrons = (5 A × 1 s) / (1.6 × 10^-19 C) number of electrons = 3.125 × 10^19 Therefore, the number of electrons per second in the conductor is approximately 3.125 × 10^19

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
