a current of 1.80 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second?

Electric current in a wire, where electrons serve as the charge carriers, is a measurement of the amount of charge that moves through any point of the wire in a given amount of time.
A free electron is drawn to a proton to become neutral if an electron is added to the wire.
Lack of electrons can result from pushing electrons out of their orbits.
Electric current is the name given to the constantly moving electrons in wire.

The current is the quantity of charge Q flowing through a certain point of the wire in a time interval of [tex]\Delta t[/tex].

I = [tex]\frac{Q}{\Delta t}[/tex].

by using this relationship

I=1.80 A, we can find the charge passing any point in the wire in 1 second:

Electric Charge, Q = 1.80 C.

To find how many electrons corresponds to this charge, we should divide this value by the charge of a single electron

charge of the electron = 1.6 x [tex]10^{-19}[/tex] C.

No. of Electrons = Q/q = [tex]\frac{1.80}{1.6* 10^{-19}}[/tex]= 1.12 x [tex]10^{19}[/tex].
