Question
If $3 \times 10^{19}$ electrons flow uniformly through the cross-section of a wire in $5 \mathrm{~s}$, what is the current flowing through the wire?
Step 1
The current \( I \) is defined as the charge \( Q \) flowing through a cross-section of a wire per unit time \( t \). The formula is given by: \[ I = \frac{Q}{t} \] Show more…

What is the net number of electrons per second that pass through the cross-section of a wire carrying $5 \mathrm{~A}$ of dc current? The current flow is due to electrons, and the magnitude of the charge of each electron is $1.60 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}$.
There is a net passage of $4.8 \times 10^{18}$ electrons by a point in a wire conductor in 0.25 s. What is the current in the wire?
