A. 1.0 x 1020
B. 1.0 x 10-18
C. 1.0 x 10-17
D. 1.0 x 1017
Correct Answer:
Option D – 1.0 x 1017
Explanation
Current (I) = q/t → q = i x t
= 16 x 10-3 x 1
= 1.6 x 10-2C
But 1.6 x 10-19C = I electronic charge
1 coulomb = 1 / (1.6×10-19)
∴ 1.6 x 10-2 coulombs = 1 / (1.6×10-19) x 1.6×10-2 / 1
= 1.0 x 10-2 x 1019
= 1.0 x 1017
