If a current of 0.5 ampere flows through a metallic wire for 2 hours, then how many electrons flow through the wire?

Answer»

Solution :Q (COULOMBS)=I(ampere)`XXT(sec)=(0.5" ampere")xx(2xx60xx60s)=3600C`
A flow of 1 F, i.e., 96500 C is equivaelent to flow of 1 mole of ELECTRONS, i.e., `6.02xx10^(23)` electrons
`therefore3600C` is EQUIVALENT to flow of electrons `=(6.02xx10^(23))/(96500)xx3600`
`=2.246xx10^(22)` electrons.
