Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The charge of an electron is - 1.6 × 10-19 coulomb. Therefore total negative charge passes across the section of a conductor in 1 minute and 20 seconds is 5 × 1016 × 1.6 × 10-19 = 8 × 10-3. Therefore, charge passes across the section in one second, is 8 × 10-3 coulomb / 80 second = 10 -4 coulomb/second (or Amp) = 0.1 mA.
