How many electrons make up 1 amp?

Answer 1

One amp represents the flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge per second. Therefore answer is the number of electrons in one coulomb:

6.2415 × 1018 electrons

See How_many_electrons_are_in_1.0_coulomb_of_chargefor more information.

Answer 2

1 amp corresponds to the flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second. Since 1 electron carries a charge of approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs, 1 amp would be equivalent to the flow of approximately 6.25 x 10^18 electrons per second.

Answer 3

There are six quintillion, two hudred eighty-one quadrillion or (6,218,000,000,000,000,000) electrons in an ampere

Answer

There are NO 'electrons in an ampere'. An electron is a sub-atomic particle, whereas an ampere is a unit of measurement.

Answer 4

An Ampère is a unit of current, not of electric charge. One Ampère may be thought of as 1 Coloumb / second, although in SI it is defined the other way (Ampère being the base unit). Since 1 Coloumb is 6.24 × 1018 elementary charges, one Ampère is that same number of electrons per second.

Answer 5

You can't convert that. An electron has a certain (negative) charge; it makes sense to ask how many electrons have a charge of -1 coulomb, since the coulomb is a unit of charge. But the ampere is not a unit of charge.

Answer 6

There is no meaningful answer to the question. An ampere is a measure of a flow of electric current whereas the number of electrons would be a stock.

A coulomb, on the other hand, is equivalent to the charge of 6.24*10^18 electrons.

Answer 7

An amp (1 amp) = 1.6x10^-19 coulombs/sec which is the current of 1 electron.
1 coulomb/second = 1/1.6x10^-19 electrons = approx. 6.25x10^18 electrons
So, the answer would be 6.25x10^18 electrons

Answer 8

"One amp" means one coulomb of electrons flowing past you every second.

1 coulomb = 6,241,510,000,000,000,000 electrons (6.24151 x 1018)

Answer 9

6.25e18 electrons per second is one ampere.

Answer 10

Ampere is a unit for electric current.
