The current is the amount of charge flowing through a conductor per unit time. The charge is the product of the number of electrons and the charge of each electron. So, the number of electrons flowing through the superconductor per second is:```n = I / e```where:* n is the number of electrons* I is the current* e is the charge of an electronPlugging in the given values, we get:```n = (1.00 × 10^5 A) / (1.60 × 10^-19 C) = 6.25 × 10^23 electrons/s```Therefore, the correct answer is A.
