How do you pronounce 6240000000000000000?
In the US short scale (number names by thousands), one hundred quintillion.100000000000000000000 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000(one hundred billion billion, short scale)
The unit of current in which 6240000000000000000 electrons flow past a given point in a circuit in one second is the?
The amount of current is measured in units called amperes or amps. One ampere of current is equal to the charge of 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons flowing past a given point in a circuit per second Its in the Penn Foster Book.
What is the unit of current in which 6240000000000000000 electrons flow past a given point in a circuit in one second?
The formula for current is I = Q/t [A = C/s]. In words, current in amps is equal to charge in coulombs divided by time in seconds.In order to answer this question, you must first calculate the number of coulombs in the specified number of electrons.Q = (# of electrons) * (elementary charge) = 6.24x1018 * 1.602x10-19 = 0.999648 CThen substitute this value into the first equation using the given time:I = Q/t = 0.99648C / 1s = 0.999648 AIf one were to round to the nearest thousandth, this value would become approximately 1 Amp.Be aware that current moves in the opposite direction that electrons move, even though the rate is the same.
