Question

A current of 10 ampere flows through a conductor for two minutes. Calculate the amount of charge passed through the conductor.

Answer 1

๏Answer:

• Charge (Q) = 1200 C

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✰GiVen:

• Current, I = 10 A
• t = 2 min = 120 sec

✰To Find:

We need to find the amount of charge passed through the conductor.

✰SoluTion:

Let the amount of charge passed through unit area of cross section of the conductor be Q.

According to this formula,

$\sf \longmapsto \: \: I= \dfrac{Q}{T} \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: \: Q = I \times T \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: \:Q = 10 \: A \times 120 \: Sec \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto \: \:{ \underline{ \boxed{ \bf{ \purple{Q = 1200 \:C }}}}} \: \bigstar \:$

Thus, the amount of charge passed through the conductor is 1200 C.

Answer 2

Charge = 1200 C

Given:

Current, I = 10 A

t = 2 min = 120 sec

To Find:

We need to find the amount of charge passed through the conductor.

Solution:

Let's assume the amount of charge passed through unit area of cross section of the conductor as - Q

Because, Q is the symbol to represent charge.

We know that :

$\bigstar\;\boxed{\bf I= \dfrac{Q}{T}}$

So,

$\sf \implies Q = I \times T$

$\sf \implies \: Q = 10 \: A \times \: 120 \: sec$

→ Q = 1200 C

Hence,

The amount of charge passed through the conductor is 1200 C.
