Answer

$335~nC~~$ of charge passes through a cross-section in $3.00~ms$

Work Step by Step

We can find the current: $i = \frac{V}{R}$ $i = \frac{V}{\rho~L/A}$ $i = \frac{V~A}{\rho~L}$ $i = \frac{V~\pi~r^2}{\rho~L}$ $i = \frac{(3.00\times 10^{-9}~V)(\pi)(2.00\times 10^{-3}~m)^2}{(1.69\times 10^{-8}~\Omega\cdot m)~(2.00\times 10^{-2}~m)}$ $i = 1.115\times 10^{-4}~A$ We can find the charge that passes through a cross-section in $3.00~ms$: $q = i~t$ $q = (1.115\times 10^{-4}~A)(3.00\times 10^{-3}~s)$ $q = 3.35\times 10^{-7}~C$ $q = 335~nC$ $335~nC~~$ of charge passes through a cross-section in $3.00~ms$
