Bro r u retard? Amp is defined as one coulomb per second, there are ~96500 e per coulomb

Oops retard moment. Just divide a coulomb by elementary charge of e in colombs

Do not think of current as electrons flowing like water in a pipe. They do move, but quite slowly. Look up drift velocity, that is the actual velocity electrons move at. It's usually very slow. What moves very fast is the electric field inside the wire.

Current flow does not even require electrons. The charged particles in a wire will be electrons, but in the case of a lead acid battery for example, the charge carriers will be ions.

You should be asking how many electrons per second, and the answer is about 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons per second.

Or a charge with a magnitude equivalent to that along the lines of what others have pointed out. 3,120,000,000,000,000,000 alpha particles per second for example.

But it is so easy to stay in that mind set. Are there any better metaphors for electric behavior?

I don't think there is a perfect analogy for it. The "water" analogy works well for simple DC circuits, but it is somewhat misleading for what I described.

You can think of flipping a switch like pushing the first domino in a row, each domino does not move very far but the end domino still falls over rather quickly.

Disregard this >>12445749 anon, he's a retard. Water flowing is a good analogy. I don't see how drift velocity and whatnot would influence whether it's a good analogy or not. The moving charges can still be thought as moving volumes of water and the voltages are the pressures.

Electron movenent and water flow are mathematically analogous. I just think it creates the wrong idea because it implies the electrons themselves are rushing through a wire like water through a pipe, when in reality they barely move and the electric field is what is propogated very quickly through the wire.

So basically your problem with it is electrons don't move as fast as water.

the actual answer is there are 6,240,000,000,000 electrons in a coulomb. An amp is just 1 coulomb per second.

Actually, I think it's bullshit, and electron isn't so simple element ,... definitely electron is not a scalar.

1 Ampere is just 1 Coulomb/Second.
There are 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons in a coulomb so I guess that might be what you're looking for?

How does a single electron transistor work then? Just hole travel?
Is there a formula for correlating the gate speed to electron drift speed?
