A current of 2.10A flows in a wire. How many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? N= eletrons/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what I did (2.10) x (1.602 x 10^-19) = 3.3642 x 10 ^19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel like its wrong because its too simple ahah

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time, with 6.241×10^18 electrons (or one coulomb) per second constituting one ampere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh noo it says that I am wrong

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

Oh i c .... srry ... i didnt c that one im really srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 6.241×10^18 x (2.10A)?

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

of course!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 1.3x10^19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! its right! that was totally my mistake lol thank you very much!
