Correct Question: The filament of an electric lamp drains a current of 0.5A which lights for 5 hours. Calculate the amount of charge through the circuit.
Explanation:
Given:
- Filament of an electric lamp drains current of 0.5 A.
- Lamp lights for 5 hours.
To Find:
- Amount of charge through circuit ?
Formula to be used:
- I = Q/t
Solution: Changing time into seconds.
➟ 1 hour = 3600 seconds
➟ 5 hours = 3600 × 5 = 18000 seconds
Here we have
- I = 0.5 A
- t = 18000 s
- Q = ?
Substituting the values on formula
I = Q/T
0.5 = Q/18000
5/10 = Q/18000
5 × 18000/10 = Q
90000/10 = Q
9000 = Q
Hence, 9000 coulomb charge will flow through the circuit.
- S.I unit of current is ampere.
- S.I unit of charge is coulomb.
Answer:
✳️ Question ✳️
- The filament of an electric lamp drains a current of 0.5 A which tights for 5 hours. Calculate the amount of charge through the circuit.
✳️ Given ✳️
- The filament of an electric lamp drains a current of 0.5 A which tights for 5 hours.
✳️ To Find ✳️
- What is the amount of charge through the circuit.
✳️ Formula Used ✳️
I =
where,
- Q = Quantity of charge
- T = Time taken
✳️ Solution ✳️
First, we have to convert time into second :-
✒️ We know that, 1 hours = 3600 seconds
Then, 5 hours = 5 × 3600 = 18000 seconds
Given :-
- I = 0.5 A
- T = 18000 seconds
➕ According to the question by using the formula we get,
0.5 =
=
✍️ By doing cross multiplication we get,
10Q = 5 × 18000
Q =
Q = 9000
The amount of charge through the circuit is 9000 C.
