When an incandescent lightbulb is turned on, about 0.50 C of charge moves through the filament each second. How many electrons are flowing through the filament?
+33615 1 electron has a charge of 1.602176565×10−19 C so 1 C represents 1019/1.602176565 electrons
0.5 C represents 0.5*1019/1.602176565 electrons
$${\frac{{\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{10}}}^{\left({\mathtt{19}}\right)}}{{\mathtt{1.602\: \!176\: \!565}}}} = {\mathtt{3\,120\,754\,671\,630\,089\,658.688\: \!772\: \!544\: \!866\: \!177\: \!1}}$$
or approximately 3*1018 electrons.
