The currents in our experiment are between 0 and 20 nanoAmperes. How many electrons per second are passing an ammeter if it reads 10 nA

The number of electrons per second passing an ammeter if it reads 10 nA is 6.24 × 10⁹ electrons per second

Since our current reads 10 nA and we require the number of electrons per second passing through the ammeter, 10 nA = 1 × 10⁻⁹ C/s.

Since there are 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C/electron, the number of electrons per second, n = current/electron charge

= 1 × 10⁻⁹ C/s ÷ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C/electron

= 1/1.602 × 10¹⁰ electrons  

= 0.62422 × 10¹⁰ electrons per second

= 6.2422 × 10⁹ electrons per second

≅ 6.24 × 10⁹ electrons per second

So, the number of electrons per second passing an ammeter if it reads 10 nA is 6.24 × 10⁹ electrons per second
