Answer

$\Delta t=11.63\times10^4 s$

Work Step by Step

As current is the rate of flow of charge, we know: $i=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}$ This simplifies to: $\Delta t=\frac{\Delta q}{i}$ .......eq(1) We know that: $\Delta q=ne$ where $n=6.023\times10^{23}$ and $e=1.602\times10^{-19}C$ so $\Delta q=6.023\times10^{23}\times1.602\times10^{-19}=9.65\times10^4 C$ Putting the values into equation(1): $\Delta t=\frac{9.65\times10^4}{0.83}=11.63\times10^4 s$
