9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

<h3>What is the relation between current and charge?</h3>
  • Mathematically, current = charge / time
  • In S.I. unit, Charge is written in Coulomb and time in second.

<h3>What is the amount of charge flown through a wire for one hour if it carries 0.4 A current?</h3>
  • Charge= current × time
  • Current= 0.4 A, time = 1 hour= 3600 s
  • Charge= 0.4× 3600

= 1440 C

<h3>How many numbers of electrons present in 1440C of charge?</h3>
  • One electron= 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
  • So, 1440 C = 1440/1.6 × 10^(-19)

= 9 × 10²¹ electrons

Thus, we can conclude that the 9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.

Core electrons are also referred as non-valence electrons. Two different elements have similar chemical properties when they have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost energy level. Elements in the same column of the Periodic Table have similar chemical propertie
