Question

It takes 20s for 3x10^6 electrons to flow through a wire ,what is the current?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The variables we know and are given are:

time, t = 20s

Charge, Q = 3x1-^-6 electrons, which is just 3x10^-6C (C stands for Coulombs, which is the unit for Charge)

We need to find the current, I, and since we know Q and t we can substitute these values into the given equation:

I=Q/t (which if you look at what the RHS is saying, its Charge over time, or more literally means the amount of charge passing a point over a period of time)

If we substitute these values, we will get I as:

I = Q / t

I = 3x10^-6 / 20

I = 1.5x10^-7 A

Hope this helps!
