1.8A is the current or I. the time is 1 second, or t. and you don't know the charge or Q. the formular is I=Q/t so you substitute the values into the equation. so 1.8=Q/1 then rearrange, so Q=1.8*1 so Q=1.8.
then you need to divide the charge by the charge of one electron which is
-1.6E-19(E is expotential so X10) so 1.8/-1.6E-19=-1.125E19 and the unit is mms-1 so the answer would be -1.125E19mms-1 i hope that is helpful =D

If 1 A is flowing, then 1 C (one Coulomb) of charge passes the reference point each second.
The electron's charge has a magnitude of 1.602 x 10-19 C, and therefore the number of electrons passing the reference point each second is:
1 / (1.602 x 10-19) = 6.24 x 1018
(to three significant figures).
1 coulomb = 1 ampere-second = 6.242 x 1018 electrons
1 ampere x 1 millisecond = (1 x 0.001) = 10-3 coulomb = 6.242 x 1015 electrons
Pulses of current in one second refers to frequency, which is measured in hertz (Hz). Therefore, the number of pulses in one second depends on the frequency of the current.
There are one billion nanoseconds in one second.
The general oscilattion rating for a United States household electrical system is 60 times per second. This is know as Hrtz (prnounced Hets). Therefore, home electrical systems in the US run at 60 Hrtz.
One coulomb of electric charge per second passing a fixed point in a conductoris the definition of a current of 1 Ampere through the conductor.CommentAn ampere is most definitely not defined as a 'coulomb per second'. It is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current carrying conductors.
1 ampere is one Coulomb per second or 6.25E18 electrons per second.
The ampere is the unit that measures current. The current is like a flow in a pipe or a river. Just like a flow could be liters or gallons per second, one ampere is 6.24 x1018 electrons passing per second.
