Billions In The Blink Of An Eye

Electricity and Magnetism Level 2

A 60-Watt light bulb is connected to a 120 V outlet. How long in seconds does it take for 1 billion ( $10^{9}$ ) electrons to pass through the light bulb?

Details and assumptions

The charge of the electron is $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}~\mbox{C}$ .
You may consider the voltage as a constant voltage source. The time you will find is short enough that the fact that wall outlets generally deliver alternating voltages can be ignored.
