Question
An electron gun emits $2.0 × 10^{16}$ electrons per second. What electric current does this correspond to?
✓
Answer
No. of electrons per second $= 2 × 10^{16}$ electrons/ sec.
Charge passing per second $=2\times10^{16}\times1.6\times10^{-9}\frac{\text{coulomb}}{\text{sec}}$
$=3.2\times10^{-9}$ Coulomb/ sec
Current $=3.2\times10^{-3}\text{A}.$
