Concept:

The rate of flow of electrons is known as current.
We know 1 Ampere is defined as the amount of charge flowing through the conductor in 1 second.
And the formula for current is given by the relation I= qt, where q is the amount of charge, t is the time taken for the flow.
We know q=ne, where n is the number of charge particles and e is the amount of charge on an electron (1.6 × 10-19C) .
Here I=1μA, t=1s, we know 1μA=10-6A
I=net n=Ite Substituting the values in above equation, we get
n=1 × 11.6 × 10-19=6.25 × 1012
Therefore, number of electron = 6.25 × 1012
