  2. B \(6.25 \times 10^{16}\)
  3. C \(6.25 \times 10^{10}\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6.25 \times 10^{18}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge, \(q=1 \mathrm{C}\) If \(n\) be the total number of electrons in \(1 \mathrm{C}\) of charge, then \(q=n e\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad n &=\frac{q}{e} \\ &=\frac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\ &=6.25 \times 10^{18} \text { electrons } \end{aligned}\)
