    Explanation:

    Parameters given:

    Voltage, V = 1.5V

    Power, P = 0.204W

    Number of electrons, n = 8.33 * 10^20

    First, we calculate the current:

    P = I*V

    I = P/V

    I = 0.204/1.5 = 0.136A

    The total charge of 8.33 * 10^20 electrons is:

    Q = 8.33 * 10^20 * 1.6023 * 10^ (-19)

    Q = 133.47 C

    Current, I, is given as:

    I = Q/t

    => t = Q/I

    t = 133.47/0.136 = 981.41 secs
