A conductor carries a current of 0.2 A. (a) Find the amount of charge that will pass through the cross section of conductor in 30s. (b) How many electrons will flow in this time interval if charge on one electron is 1.6xx 10^(-19)C?

Answer»

Solution :Given : `I = 0.2 A, t = 30 s`
(a) `"CHARGE" = "Current" xx "time"` or `Q = Ixx t = 0.2 xx 30 = 6 C`
(b) If `n` electrons flow and `e` is the charge on one electron, then total charge passed `Q = ne`
`:. n = (Q)/(e) = (6)/(1.6 xx 10^(-19)) = 3.75 xx 10^(19)`
