Question

A 60 watt bulb carries a current of 0.5 ampere. what is the total charge passing through it in 1 hour .

Answer 1

According to the Question

i = 0.5 A

t = 1 hour

Convert time to second

t = 3600 second

Charge passed through the bulb

q = it

q = 0.5 × 3600

q = 1800 C

Answer 2

Concept Introduction: Electricity is the basic concept of Physics.

Given:

We have been Given: Power of the bulb

$60watt$

current passing

$0.5ampere$

time taken

$1 \: hour = 60 \times 60 = 3600sec$

To Find:

We have to Find: Total charge passing in the time.

Solution:

According to the problem, we know

$q = i \times t \\ q = 0.5 \times 3600 \\ q =1800 \: C$

Final Answer: The total charge passing is

$q =1800 \: C$
