Recommended for you

To produce one electron (e-) per day in a 90% efficient fuel cell via the overall reaction

0.5 H2 + 0.25 O2 --> 0.5 H2O + e-

requires 1.111... molecule of H2 per day, or 3.7 x 10-24 grams/day.

Just multiply if your electrical needs are greater.
 
please can u explain in detail.

Thanks
 
One electron (e-) has a charge of 1.6022 x 10-19 Coulomb.
1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second
Therefore, a 1 Ampere current requires 6.2426 x 1018 electrons/second.
