Main Question or Discussion Point

what is n*v*dt*A?
v*dt is a certain distance
there is no n*v*dt electrons
the number of electrons is n
n*v*dt*A is just some volume multiplied by n
its not the amount of electrons.

n*v*dt*A is just some volume multiplied by n

Yes, but remember that "n" is the number of electrons per unit volume.
