The number of electrons flowing per second in the filament of a bulb operating at is : (Given )
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use the relation between power, voltage, and current
For an electric bulb, So the current is
- Interpret current in terms of charge flow
Current is charge flowing per second: Since , the charge flowing per second is
- Find the number of electrons flowing per second
Charge of one electron is
If electrons flow per second, then
Now calculate:
This can also be written as
- Match with the options
Option B is:
So the correct option is B.
