The electric current in a wire is 1.5A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2s?
1 answer:
Answer:
The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.
Explanation:
An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.
i.e I = ...................(1)
It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.
In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.
From equation 1,
Q = I × t
= 1.5 × 2
= 3.0 Coulombs
The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.
