How many electrons flow past a point in a wire each second if the wire has a current of 1 amp?

In: Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

1 Amp = 1 C/s
1 electron = 1.6*10^-14 C

so 1 C/s * (1 e / 1.6 *10^-14 C) = 6.25*10^18 e/s

the c's crosses out n ur left with the unit e/s

How many electrons flows when 1 amp current flows from conductor?
1 Coulomb will flow in 1 second, which is about 6.24x1018 electrons.1 Coulomb = 1 amp x 1 sec.
When do electrons flow on a wire?
They do not. They transfer energy from one end to the other. They do not move except in their orbits around nearby atoms.
When current flows in a wire what surrounds the wire?
Insulation or a lawsuit. Just kidding (sort of). A magnetic field forms around the wire, because magnetic field are formed any time electric charge moves.
Causes current to flow in a wire?
A changing magnetic field causes a current to flow in a wire.
