Answer

No.of electrons=$2.25\times10^{20}$

Work Step by Step

As we know that i=$\frac{\Delta{q}}{\Delta{t}}$ or $\Delta{q}$=i$\Delta{t}$ putting the values, we get $\Delta{q}=0.300A\times120s$ $\Delta{q}=36 C$ We also know that $\Delta{q}=$No.of electrons .$\frac{1.6\times10^{-19}C}{electron}$ $No.of electrons=$$\frac{\Delta{q}}{1.6\times10^{-19}C/electron}$ putting the values $No.of electrons=$$\frac{36}{1.6\times10^{-19}C/electron}$ $No.of electrons=$$2.25\times10^{20}$
