1A current produced when the charge of I coulomb flows in 1 second.
The no. of electrons present in 1 coulomb is 1/1.6 x 10-19= .625 x 10-19 electrons.
but no. of electrons cannot be in fractions. So, it is 6 x 1018 electrons.

∙ 13y ago1 Coulomb will flow in 1 second, which is about 6.24x1018 electrons.
1 Coulomb = 1 amp x 1 sec.

∙ 12y agoOne ampere is the flow of 6.241 x 1018 electrons per second. A flow of one ampere for one minute would, therefore, result in a flow of 3.745 x 1019 electrons.

When to much current flows through a conductor?
It depends on many factors.!! Mainly it depends upon the type of the conductor. i.e., How many valance electron is there in the conductor. As many as valance electrons as much current flows through the conductor. Length of the material should be less as much as possible and the Area (i.e., Cross section) should be increased. So the conductivity will obviously increased. By sticking in to the basics Resistance of the material should be very low. For an Ideal superconductor the resistance is ZERO as we all know. So more current flows through the conductor.
Describe how electrical current flows?
To be precise, a current doesn't flow - a current "is". Although many people - including myself - often use the informal term "a current flows". The particles that make up the current do flow - or move. An electrical current involves the movement of some type of charged particles. Often, these are negative electrons, but there are other possibilities, as well, especially positive holes, and negative or positive ions.
What are electrons and how are they involved in creating and electric current?
A: Electrons are particles orbiting a nucleus and depending on the material it can have one to many electrons more means better conductor. As a force EMF is impressed on this material electrons are forced to leave orbit and go where ? to the next nucleus but now here there are too many for balance so one leaves and so on. So as electrons flow one way the lack of one goes the other way. basically that is how electrons flow causing electric current as you put it.
What is the difference between over current and overload condition?
The term, 'overcurrent', describes either an 'overload current' or a 'short-circuit current'.An 'overload current' is a current that is higher than a circuit's 'rated current'. For example, if you have too many loads plugged into the same circuit, then the resulting current is an 'overload current'.A 'short-circuit current' is a large current resulting when a line ('hot') conductor accidentally makes contact with either a neutral conductor or an earth (ground) conductor.

What happens to metals as they conduct electricity?
The electrons in a conductor will support the movement of electric current. A conductor is defined as a material with a number of electrons in its makeup that are actually in what is called the conduction band. The conduction band is an energy level where electrons must be to permit conduction in a material. If the minimum energy in the conduction band in a material is such that a lot of electrons in that material are already at or above that level, then these electrons will be available to support current flow. Remember that electron current flow is moving electrons, and it is not about sending an electron into a conductor, like a wire, at one end and getting that same electron out at the other. It is about sending a bunch of them in at one end, and all the electrons already in the conductor move over and a bunch come out the other end. The electrons already in the conduction band within the conductor support current flow in this way.
Why electron freely in a metal?
The term conductor is generally applied to a substance or material that has a lot of free electrons in it. The name conductor is applied because the free electrons are already there. A material does not have free electrons because it is a conductor, but is a conductor because it has a lot of free electrons. That said, let's look at what's going on. These free electrons have energies that permit them to "wander" through the conductor; they're not "locked into" the structure of the material. And when a voltage (potential difference) is applied, current flows through the conductor because the free electrons are moving. They're made to move by the applied voltage. If we take the case of a wire in a circuit, the wire is a conductor. This wire, say a copper one, has many free electrons in it, and when we apply a voltage, electrons move. The voltage forces electrons into one end of the wire, and the free electrons "shift over" and electrons emerge from the other end of the wire. This movement of free electrons in response to an applied voltage through an conductor is the essence of current flow in that conductor.
The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.
Materials with many free electrons are considered what?
Electrical Conductor
Why do electrons flow through a wire?
An electrical current is simply the flow of free electrons in and on the conductors. So they are a bit like water molecules in a garden hose. And like those water molecules the flow of free electrons can be physically impeded by whatever is in or on the electrical conductor. When a material is a good conductor, the atoms and molecules of that good conductor do not get in the way of the free electrons. They do not resist the flow of those electrons very much. So even with just a low voltage to push the electrons along, the flow, the current of the electrons is high. But when a material is a bod conductor, the atoms and molecules of that bad conductor do physically get in the way of those free electrons so that they cannot flow freely through the conductor. The resistance is high in a poor conductor. So it takes a relatively higher voltage to push electrons along in a bad conductor...if indeed they can be pushed at all. Some materials are so bad at conducting it's almost impossible to move those electrons along.
Does a conductor has many positive electrons?
No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.
What is the relationship between potential difference and direction of flow of current in an electric circuit?
Electric current always flows from high potential to low potential. This creates the flow of electric current in an electric circuit.AnswerIn a metal conductor, current is defined as a drift of free electrons. As electrons are negatively charged, this means that current drifts along a conductor from a negative potential to a positive potential.However....Current direction is often defined as a drift from a positive potential to a negative potential. This is termed 'conventional flow', and dates back to when scientists, such as Benjamin Franklin, believed that current was some sort of fluid that flowed from a higher pressure ('positive' pressure) to a lower pressure ('negative' pressure). Although incorrect, conventional flow is still widely-used today in many textbooks.
Electricity is the flow of which subatomic particles?
Electricity is the flow of electrons across a conductor. A conductor can be many things, copper is one of the most efficient. Voltage is what moves the electrons. It works like the pressure that pushes water through a hose.
