If someone wanted t make an inexpensive TLC detector for detecting ascorbic acid

Question

If someone wanted t make an inexpensive TLC detector for detecting ascorbic acid, suppose concentration were 10-4 M and the volume of the chromatographic peak in the detector region was 10 µL. For a 1% efficient conversion to current, how many mAh would be passed? Ans = 3,5x10-6 mAh.

For problem above, how many mAh does that number of coulombs correspond to? Mention why the electroplating industry requires large power supplies instead of tiny batteries to be used. Ans = 3,473 mAh. Need help with showing the work.

Explanation / Answer

Are you skipping any details from the question? I have never experienced trying to calculate the current associated to detector from the concentration of analyte and peak volume.

Please reconfirm the question. To me although part of question seems to be related to chemistry, but part of it looks like physics. the question to be solved wasn't given enough details or data.
