A 12-V battery is connected across a 100-Ω resistor. How many electrons flow through the wire in 1.0 min?

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, V = 12 V

resistance of the resistor, R = 100-Ω

time of current flow, t = 1 min

charge of 1 electron = 1.602 x 10¹⁹ C

The current through this circuit is given by;

I = V / R

I = (12) / (100)

I = 0.12 A

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is calculated as;

Q =It

where;

I is the current flowing through the wire

t is the time of current flow = 1 x 60s = 60 s

Q = 0.12 x 60

Q = 7.2 C

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C --------------- 1 electron

7.2 C -----------------------------? electron

Therefore, the quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.

iron would move it is magnetic there is a mag field around the current in the wire
