Question

a current of 0.5A 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

The formula for electric charge is given as: 

Electric charge = Current * Time (in seconds)
                          = 0.5 * 10 * 60
                          = 300 Coulombs.

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.
