The potential difference across a 10 Ohm resistor is 50 V. How many electrons pass through the resistor in 2 seconds?

A6.25 x 10^19
B3.125 x 10^19
C1.25 x 10^20
D5 x 10^18

✓ Correct Answer: A6.25 x 10^19

I = V/R = 5A. Q = It = 5*2 = 10C. Number of electrons = Q / e = 10 / (1.6x10^-19) = 6.25 x 10^19.
