A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/14/M/J/25

Explanation
Calculate electrons using current, charge, and electron charge
Steps:
- Current I = V/R = 6 V / 10 Ω = 0.6 A
- Time t = 24 hours = 24 × 3600 = 86400 s
- Total charge Q = I × t = 0.6 A × 86400 s = 51840 C
- Number of electrons N = Q / e = 51840 / (1.6 × 10^{-19} C) ≈ 3.24 × 10^{23}
Why D is correct:
- Matches N ≈ 3.2 × 10^{23} from Q = It and N = Q/e, where e is elementary charge.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Underestimates by factor of 10^{23}, likely missing time conversion or e.
- B: Too small, ignores full Q or uses wrong units for t.
- C: Overestimates by factor of 10, possibly dividing by 1.6 × 10^{-20} instead of 10^{-19}.
Final answer: D
