Question

A charge of 500 c flows a through an electric circuit in 6 minutes 40 seconds. calculate the magnitude of current flowing through the circuit?

Answer 1

Given:

A charge of 500 c flows a through an electric circuit in 6 minutes 40 seconds.

To find:

calculate the magnitude of current flowing through the circuit?

Solution:

We know that current is the rate of flow of charge.

So, we have,

I = q/t

where, I = current

q = charge

t = time

From given, we have,

q = 500 C

t = 6 minutes 40 seconds.

⇒ t = 6 × 60 + 40 = 400 s

I = 500 C / 400 s

∴ The magnitude of the current flowing through the circuit is 1.25 A
