Question

5 amps electric current is shown in the Ammeter for 5 minutes then the charge crossed at a point is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, electric current (I) = 5 A

Time (t) = 5 minute

=

5

×

60

=

300

=5×60=300 s

Electric charge (Q) =?

We know;

I

=

Q

t

I=Qt

Or,

Q

=

I

×

t

Q=I×t

Or,

Q

=

5

A

×

300

s

=

1500

C

Q=5A×300s=1500C

Answer 2

Answer :

Current flow = 5A

Time interval = 5min

We have to find amount of charge flow in ammeter during the given interval of time$.$

★ Electric current is defined as the rate of charge flow in conductor.

It is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.

Mathematically, I = Q/t

• I denotes current
• Q denotes charge
• t denotes time

First we have to convert unit of time in second.

★ Conversion :

• 1 min = 60 seconds
• 5 min = 5×60 = 300 seconds

★ Calculation :

⭆ I = Q/t

⭆ 5 = Q/300

⭆ Q = 5 × 300

⭆ Q = 1500 C
