Answer

Electrons move from 'a' towards 'b' in the conductor. The amount of charge passes through the cross section of wire in 3 seconds is 9 coloumbs.

Work Step by Step

Formula: $$Current=\frac{Charge}{Time}$$ so, Charge through cross section of wire in 3s. $Charge = current\times time $ =3*3 =9C (ans)
