Question

A 5 Ohm resistor is connected across the terminals of a 24 V battery. What is the charge passing through the resistor per second ?​

Answer 1

Answer

• 4.8 C

Given

• A 5 Ω resistor is connected across the terminals of a 24 V battery

To Find

• Charge passing through the resistor per second

Solution

Resistance , R = 5 Ω

Potential Difference , V = 24 V

Time , t = 1 s

Apply Ω's law .

⇒ V = IR

⇒ 24 = I ( 5 )

⇒ I = 4.8 A

Now , " Current is defined as the charge carries per second "

⇒ I = Q/t

⇒ 4.8 = Q / 1

⇒ Q = 4.8 C
