Question 12

During a diagnostic test, a medical sensor registers a steady current of 4.8 μA4.8\ \mu\text{A}4.8 μA flowing through a microfluidic channel.

How many electrons pass a given point in the channel during a 2.5-minute2.5\text{-minute}2.5-minute measurement period? (The elementary charge e=1.6×10−19 Ce = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}e=1.6×10−19 C)

A

7.5×10137.5 \times 10^{13}7.5×1013

B

4.5×10154.5 \times 10^{15}4.5×1015

C

7.5×10157.5 \times 10^{15}7.5×1015

D

4.5×10184.5 \times 10^{18}4.5×1018
