Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?

Hello your question is poorly written below is the complete question

Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving Ten thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?

answer :

a) 231.48 days

b) n = 3.125 * 10^15

Explanation:

Battery moved 10,000 coulombs

current rate = 0.5 mA

A) Determine how long the clock run on the battery. use the relation below

q = i * t ( 1 )

q = charge , i = current , t = time

10000 = 0.5 * 10^-3 * t

hence  t = 2 * 10^7 secs

hence the time = 231.48  days

B) Determine how many electrons per second flowed

q = n*e ( 2 )

n = number of electrons

e = 1.6 * 10^-19

q = 0.5 * 10^-3 coulomb ( charge flowing per electron )

back to equation 2

n ( number of electrons ) = q / e = ( 0.5 * 10^-3 ) / ( 1.6 * 10^-19 )

hence : n = 3.125 * 10^15
