If 16mA of current flows through a conductor in one second, the number of electron transported per seconds is
[1 electronic charge = 1.6 x 10-19C]
[1 electronic charge = 1.6 x 10-19C]
1.00 x 1020
2.56 x 10-18
2.56 x -17
1.00 x 1017
설명
Current (I) = q/t → q = i x t
= 16 x 10-3 x 1
= 1.6 x 10-2C
But 1.6 x 10-19C = I electronic charge
1 coulomb = 1 / (1.6x10-19)
∴ 1.6 x 10-2 coulombs = 1 / (1.6x10-19) x 1.6x10-2 / 1
= 1.0 x 10-2 x 1019
= 1.0 x 1017
= 16 x 10-3 x 1
= 1.6 x 10-2C
But 1.6 x 10-19C = I electronic charge
1 coulomb = 1 / (1.6x10-19)
∴ 1.6 x 10-2 coulombs = 1 / (1.6x10-19) x 1.6x10-2 / 1
= 1.0 x 10-2 x 1019
= 1.0 x 1017
