3e17 positively charged hydrogen ions pass a point in 5 seconds. what is the current in amps?

Sagot :

The current in amps is 9.6 * 10^-3 A

What is current?

Current as used in the the field of electricity refers to the ration of voltage to resistance. The unit of current is Ampere represented as A.

Given data

time in seconds = 5

number of electrons present = 3E17 = 3 * 10^17

How to solve for current

charge  in one electron  = 1.6 * 10 ^-19

Total charge, Q =  number of electrons present * charge  in one electron

Total charge = 1.6 * 10 ^-19 * 3 * 10^17

Total charge =  0.048

Q = current * time

Q =  I * 5

I = 0.048 / 5

I = 9.6 * 10^-3 A

The current in amps is 9.6 * 10^-3 A
