Thomas Edison invented an electric meter that was nothing more than a simple coulometer, a device to measure the amount of electricity passing through a circuit. In this meter, a small, fixed fraction of the total current supplied to a household was passed through an electrolytic cell, plating out zinc at the cathode. Each month the cathode could then be removed and weighed to determine the amount of electricity used. If 0.25% of a household’s electricity passed through such a coulometer and the cathodeincreased in mass by 1.83 g in a month, how many coulombs of electricity were used during that month?
