Question

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

Answer 1

We know that I=q/t
q=It
=0.5*10*60
=5*60
=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.
