Question

A current of 0.5 A flows through a conductor for 15 minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's understand here,

Current=0.5 A

Time=15 min =15×60 =900 sec

Charge (Q)= ?

As we know,

I= Q/T

0.5 = Q/900

0.5×900 =Q

Q=450 C

Answer 2

Answer:

Charge, Q = 450 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given;-

            Current, I = 0.5 A

                Time, t = 15 mins

                            = 15 × 60 s

                            = 900 s

We know that;

∵     Current, I = Charge (Q)/ Time (t)

∴     Charge, Q = I × t

                      Q = 1/2 × 900

                      Q = 450 Coulombs

Hence, the amount of charge that passes through the conductor in 15 mins is 450 coulombs.
