AI Thread Summary
To calculate the number of electrons leaving the battery's negative terminal in 3 seconds with a current of 2 A, first recognize that 1 Ampere equals 1 Coulomb per second. Therefore, in 3 seconds, the total charge is 2 A x 3 s = 6 Coulombs. Given that the charge of a single electron is approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 C, the number of electrons can be calculated by dividing the total charge by the charge of one electron. This results in approximately 3.75 x 10^19 electrons leaving the battery in that time frame. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately calculating electron flow in electrical circuits.

i was stuck on this equation if a current of 2 A flows through a lamp when it is connected by copper wire of cross-sectional area 1 mm2 to the terminals of a battery. how many electrons will leave the negative terminal of the battery in 3 seconds? (obiviously the charge of electrons is e=1.602*10–19 C.

Right. An Ampere is one Coulomb of charge per second. How many electrons make up one Coulomb?
 
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
