How many electrons?

There is a lot of current between your amp and your speakers. Imagine that you are doing some normal listening to your favorite loud music, and consider the number of electrons that move between the amp output poles and the speaker cables every second, in either direction.

Among the following estimates for the number of such electrons, which one is the most accurate?

a) None
b) Between eighty seven and a thousand
c) Thousands
d) Millions
e) Billions
f) Trillions or more

It's OK to just guess, but if you want to use numbers, the unit of current is an ampere, which is a coulomb per second, and an electron has a charge of about
1.602176487(40)×10−19 coulombs.

You want to avoid DC on the output since it creates drift velocity and eventually drains high quality electrons, that you paid for, from your expensive speaker cable.

It is likely that it already happened to you. Send me your cables and I will recharge them with highest quality electrons for very small nominal fee.
