pls help with my physics

Cu2+ ions move at a speed of 5x10-8 m/s in an electrochemical cell. of 0.05g of copper forms at the cathode in 10 minutes, what is the value of the current due to Cu2+ions flowing towards the cathode? this is a physics questions pls help

What you need is
current = charge / time interval

Hint: How many Cu2+ ions in 0.05 g? From this value, we can find the amount of charges.
