Question

what is the solution to these questions? If a current of 78.0 mA exists ina metal wire, how many electrons flow past a given cross section ofthe wire in 10.5 minutes?
electrons A certain conductor has 6.20 x1028 free electrons per cubic meter, across-sectional area of 4.00 x 10-6 m2, andcarries a current of 2.90 A. Find thedrift speed of the electrons in the conductor.

Explanation / Answer

Cureent I = 78 mA = 0.078 A

Time t= 10.5 min = 10.5 * 60 s= 630 s

Charge Q = It

                = 49.14 C

No.of electrons N = Q / e

Where e = charge of electron = 1.6 * 10 ^ -19 c

Plug the values we get N = 3.07* 10 ^ 20
