a current of 0.5 ampere is drawn by two filament of electric bulb for 10 minutes find the amount of electrical energy that flows through the circuit
Answers
I(current) = Q(charge)/t(time)
Time = 10 mins
In seconds, 600 seconds
Current = 0.5 A
Therefore, Q = I × t
= 0.5 × 600
= 300coulombs...
Question:-
A current of 0.5 Ampere is drawn by a filament of electric bulb for 10 minutes. Find the amount of electrical energy that flows through the circuit.
Full Solution with explanation:-
- So, first of all let us know what are given in the query.
Given that:-
Current, I = 0.5 A
Time Taken, t = 10 min
- Let us also know what we need to find out
To Find:-
Electric Current, Q = ?
- So , by this we got to know which formula is applicable for the required value. But firstly , we know that the SI unit of time taken is second so we will substitute it.
Substitution of Time taken, t :-
➦ Time Taken , t = 10 min
➦ Time Taken , t = 10 × 60 second
➦ Time Taken , t = 600 second
- So, the time taken will be 600 sec. Now with no further delay let's do this with the required formula.
Required Formula:-
I = Q/t
- Let's put the values
We know,
➦ I = Q/t
➦ 0.5 = Q/600
➦ 0.5 × 600 = Q
➦ Q = 0.5 × 600
➦ Q = 300.0
➦ Q = 300 C
- Finally we got the required value of Q. Let us also know some Quantity and SI unit regarding this chapter of electricity ( Physics ).
1) Electric Current ( I ) -------------- Ampere ( A )
2) Electric charge ( Q ) -------------- Columb ( C )
3) Time taken ( t ) -------------- Second ( sec )
4) Potential difference ( v ) -------------- Volt ( v )
5) Work done ( w ) -------------- Joule ( J )
5) Resistance ( R ) -------------- Ohm ( Ω )
