How many electrons are flowing per second past a point in a circuit in which there is a current of 5A?

Given that,

Current, I $=5 \mathrm{~A}$

Time taken, $t=1 \mathrm{~s}$

We already know that,

$\text{I}=\text{Q}/\text{t}$

$\text{Q}=\text{I}\times \text{t}=5\times 1=5\text{C}$

Total number of electrons present in $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}=1$

Total number of electrons present in $5 \mathrm{C}=(5) /\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)=31.25 \times 10^{18} \mathrm{C}$
