what is the relation between electrons per second that pass through a wire and the current (in amps)?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The current in a circuit is one ampere if\[6.28\times 10^{18}\]electrons pass through any cross-section of the conductor every second.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[[\text A]\\=[\text C/\text s]\\=[\text C/\text s] \div{1.602\times10^{-19}[{\text C/\text e}]}\\=6.241 \times 10^{18} [\text e/\text s],\]
