Electrons travel through a vacuum from one metal plate to a different metal plate. This produces an electric current of $48\,\mu\text{A}$ between the plates. How many electrons are released from the first plate in a time of $5.0$ minutes?
- A$1.4 \times 10^{4}$
- B$1.5 \times 10^{15}$
- C$1.8 \times 10^{16}$
- D$9.0 \times 10^{16}$
