    A standard 60 W light bulb has a voltage of 130 volts. So, we use this conversion, the Faraday's constant which is equal to approximately 96,500 Coulombs per mole electron, and the Avogadro's number equal to 6.022*10²³ particles/mole. The solution is as follows:

    W = Energy/time

    60 W = x J/1 s

    x = 60 J = 60 C·V

    (60 C·V) * (1/130 V) * (1 mole e/96,500 C) * (6.022*10²³ electrons/mole electron)

    = 2.88*10¹⁸ electrons
