Let there are n electrons in a beam moved by the potential difference of 1 volt.
The energy of n electrons = 1joule
Energy=workdone
Work done by 1 electron = qV
Work done by n electrons = nqV=n(1.6×10-19)(1)
1joule=n(1.6×10-19)(1)
No. of electrons =11.6×10-19=6.25×1018electrons.
Thus, there are =6.25×1018electrons in the beam.
