Answer:
981.41 secs
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Voltage, V = 1.5V
Power, P = 0.204W
Number of electrons, n = 8.33 * 10^20
First, we calculate the current:
P = I*V
I = P/V
I = 0.204/1.5 = 0.136A
The total charge of 8.33 * 10^20 electrons is:
Q = 8.33 * 10^20 * 1.6023 * 10^(-19)
Q = 133.47 C
Current, I, is given as:
I = Q/t
=> t = Q/I
t = 133.47/0.136 = 981.41 secs
