How long would it take to pass 700 C of charge through a toaster drawing 10 A of current? How many electrons would pass through the toaster in this time?

Respuesta :

Given that the charge of the toaster is q =700 C

The current of the toaster is I = 10 A

We have to find the time and number of electrons.

Time can be calculated by the formula,

[tex]t=\frac{q}{I}[/tex]

Substituting the values, the time will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} t=\frac{700}{10} \\ =70\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number of electrons can be calculated by the formula,

[tex]n=\frac{q}{e}[/tex]

Here, n is the number of electrons

and e is the charge of the electron whose value is

[tex]1.6\text{ }\times10^{-19}\text{ C}[/tex]

Substituting the values, the number of electrons will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} n\text{ = }\frac{700}{1.6\times10^{-19}} \\ =4.375\text{ }\times10^{-17} \end{gathered}[/tex]
