How many electrons flow when a current of 5 amp is passed through a cell for 200 sec?

  1. A \(9.65 \times 10^{21}\)
  2. B \(1 \cdot 60 \times 10^{21}\)
  3. C \(3 \cdot 12 \times 10^{21}\)
  4. D \(6 \cdot 24 \times 10^{21}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6 \cdot 24 \times 10^{21}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{I} \times \mathrm{t}=5 \times 200=1000 \mathrm{C}
\)
The charge of one electron is \(1.602 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\)
No. of electrons passed \(=\frac{1000 \mathrm{C}}{1.602 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}}=6.24 \times 10^{21}\)
