Question

the electric current in a wire is 1.5 A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2 s?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current (I) is the ratio of the quantity of charges (Q) that flows through a point to the time taken (t).

i.e            I = $\frac{Q}{t}$

It is measured in Ampere's by the use of an ammeter in the laboratory. The quantity of charge that flow through a given point is measured in Coulombs, while time is measured in seconds.

Given that;     I = 1.5A and t = 2s, find Q.

                          Q = It

                             = 1.5 × 2

                             = 3.0 C

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.
