A steady current of 1 ampere flows through a conductor. Calculate the number of electrons that flows through any section of the conductor is 1 second (charge on electron 1.6 x 10¹⁹ Coulomb)

Electric current: The amount of charge Q flowing through a particular area of cross section in unit time ‘t’ is called electric current, i.e., Electric current, I = Q/t
SI unit of electric current is ampere

One ampere of current is that current which flow when one coulomb of electric charge flowing through a particular area of cross section of the conductor is one second, i.e, 1A = 1 CS^-1

The direction of conventional current is A to B, i.e., opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. In a metal, flow of electrons carrying negative charge constitutes the current. Direction of flow of electrons given the direction of electronic current by convention, the direction of flow of positive charge is taken as the direction of conventional current charge
= q = ne
For q = I Coulomb

\(\frac{1C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}C}\) = \(\frac{10^{19}}{1.6}\) = 6.25 x 10¹⁸ electrons
