Question

How is the direction of electric current related to the direction of flow of electrons? Calculate the current in a circuit if 500C of charge passes through it in 10minutes.

Answer 1

The charge carriers in metal wires flow in the opposite direction of conventional current flow in an electrical circuit.this is how direction of electric current related to the direction of flow of electrons in a wire.

I=Q/t
where I is the cuurent, Q is the charge flowing and t is the time.
Given Q=500 C
$t=10min=10\times 60sec$.
I=5/6 A
I=0.833 A
