To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Current and Load.

The current in terms of the charge of an electron can be expressed as

i = \frac{q}{t}

Where,

q = Charge

t = time

At the same time the Charge is the amount of electrons multiplied by the amount of these, that is

q = ne

Replacing in the first equation we have to

i = \frac{q}{t}

i = \frac{ne}{t}

Clearing n,

n = \frac{it}{e}

Here the time is one second then

n = \frac{i}{e}

n = \frac{4.1}{1.6*10^{-9}}

n = 2.56*10^{19}electrons

Therefore the number of electrons per second are passing any cross sectional area of the wire are 2.56*10^{19}electrons

Answer:

The objects were 1.8m apart.

Explanation:

We will start stating the Coulomb's Law. It says that:

F_e=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^{2}}

Where F_e is the electric force between the objects, q_1 and q_2 are the magnitude of the charge of the objects, r is the distance between them and K is the Coulomb's constant (K=8.9*10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} } in vacuum). Solving for the distance r we have:

r=\sqrt{\frac{Kq_1q_2}{F_e} }

Plugging the given values into this equation, we obtain:

r=\sqrt{\frac{(8.9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} })(2.56*10^{-6}C)(3.34*10^{-7}C)}{2.26*10^{-3}N}}=1.8m

In words, the two charged objects were 1.8m apart.
