Answer to Problem 8P

The number of electrons =2.109×1021electrons/min

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Voltage, V=9.0V and resistance, R= 1.6Ω

Formula used:

From the Ohm’s law,

The relation between resistance, voltage and current

  V=IR

Where V= voltage, I= current, R= resistance.

After rearranging this expression, I=VR

Calculation:

Substituting all the given values in the formula I=VR

  =9.0V1.6Ω

  =5.625A

The battery lost 5.625 coulomb of charges in one second.

Charge of an electron is  1.6×10-19C , so the charge loss by battery:

Substituting the values and calculate

  5.625A=5.625C1sec.60s1min.1electron1.6×10-19C

  =2.109×1021electrons

Conclusion:

The number of electrons losses by the battery is 2.109×1021electrons .
