How many electrons pass through a conductor in 0.2 second if the current passing through it is 0.5 ampere?

Current = charge / time
Charge q = n * e
e = 1.602 x 10^-19 C
time given = 0.2 s
Current = 0.5 A
So I = n e / t
Hence n = I * t / e
Plug I, t and e. You would get required n
ANS: 6.24 x 10^17 electrons

2=.5*t
Therefore t=4sec

∙ 14y ago"2 amperes" means "2 coulombs per second"
(2 coulombs per second) x (2 seconds) = 4 coulombs
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIf 0.25 coulombs of charge passes through a point in a circuit in 0.5 seconds, then the current is 0.5 amperes. Current is coulombs per second, so divide 0.25 by 0.5 to get 0.5.

What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
The steady flow of electrons through a conductor is?
Its called "current"
The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?
The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.
Current is flowing through a conductor is it charged?
No, a charged conductor is either at an abundance or lack of electrons. The moment an earth is provided, a discharge begins, which is current flowing.
What is the steady flow of electrons through a conductor?
The terminology for a steady flow of electrons through a conductor is called the current of the circuit.
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.

When measuring current you are measuring the number of?
When measuring current, we are measuring the number of electrons (conventionally positive charges) passing through the cross section of the conductor in one second.AnswerActually, the unit of electric current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between two parallel current-carrying conductors, and NOT in terms of the quantity of electrons passing a given point!
What is produced whenever there is a flow of electrons in a wire?
Electric current is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
Current passing through a conductor is increased from 10 A to 15 A This decreases the srength of the magnetic field prodused by the conductor?
TRUE
Which term refers to the number of electrons that move through a conductor in one second?
That description doesn't fit any electrical term, probably because it's not useful.The number of electrons passing a single point in the conductor in one secondis proportional to the electrical current, and is described in units of amperes.
