Solution

Number of electrons flowing through the conductor,

N = `6.25 × 10^16` electrons

Time taken, t = 2 s

Given, e = `1.6 × 10^-19` C

Let I be the current flowing through the conductor.

Then, I = `"ne"/t`

∴ I = `((6.25 xx 10^16)(1.6 xx10^-19))/2`

= ` 5 xx 10^-3`A

Or, I = 5 mA

Thus, 5 mA current flows from B to A.
