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

Given ,

Current (I) = 0.5 amp

Time (t) = 10 min or 600 sec

We know that ,

$\large \sf \fbox{Current \: (I) = \frac{q}{t} }$

Thus ,

$\sf \Rightarrow 0.5 = \frac{q}{600} \\ \\\sf \Rightarrow q = 300 \: \: c$

$\therefore \sf \bold{ \underline{The \: electric \: charge \: is \: 300 \: c}}$

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.
