Question

7.95 x 10^18 electrons run through a given wire per second. What is the total mass, in grams, of electrons that pass through the wire in one hour? The mass of one electron is 9.1094x10^-31 kg 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The number of electrons passing through the wire in 1 second = 7.95×1018

The mass of 1 electron = 9.1094×10-31 Kg

To find:

The mass of electrons passing through the wire in 1 hr = 3600 seconds.
