Question #188375

a tesla car needs to charge its 350-volt model and must send about 715 amps through its cabling to the battery. how many electrons pass through the cable for the current involved.


Expert's answer

Current is defined as I=ΔQΔtI=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}


So we can find the total charge: 

ΔQ=Current×time period\Delta Q= Current\times time\ period

Lets say car is charged for 1 minutes

So, Total charge transferred in 1 minutes= 715×60=42900 C715\times 60 =42900\ C

and number of electrons pass through wire in one minutes=42900 C1.6×1019Celectrons=2.68×1023  electrons\dfrac{42900\ C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\frac{C}{electrons}}=2.68\times 10^{23}\ \ electrons
