Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The current in the light bulb, I = 0.5 A
(a) We know that,
Electric current = charge/time
or
Q = It
Put t = 2 hours = 7200 s
So,
Q = 0.5 × 7200
Q = 3600 C
(b) Charge on one electron, [tex]Q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]
Let there are n electrons flow through the bulb in 2 hours.
I = Q/t
Since, Q = ne
So,
I = ne/t
[tex]n=\dfrac{I\times t}{e}\\\\n=\dfrac{0.5\times 7200}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\\n=2.25\times 10^{22}[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
