Question

A current of 0.5 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 minutes.Find the
amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit.

Answer 1

i=q/t

0.5=q/10*60

q=0.5(10*60)

q=0.5*600

q=300coulmbs                                                                                                        

Answer 2

Answer:

The amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 300 C.

Explanation:

Given,

Current (i) drawn by a filament = 0.5 A

Time (t) = 10 minutes = 10* 60 sec = 600 seconds

To find: the amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit.

Solution:

Charge is equal to the product of current and time.

i.e Q = it

here, i = 0.5 A , t = 600 sec

Substituting the values,

Q = 0.5 * 600

or, Q = 300 coulomb

Therefore, The amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 300 C.
