Question

A current of 20a is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 minutes
Find the amount of electric large that flows through the curcuit

Answer 1

Answer:

12000 C

Explanation:

Given parameters

Current (I) = 20 A

Time = 10 minutes

Time in minutes can be converted into seconds as follows

Time (t) = 10 × 60 = 600 sec

Q = I × t

Q = 20 × 600

Q = 12000 C

Answer 2

Answer:

Amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 12000 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given :-

Current (I) = 20 A

Time (t) = 10 min

To find :-

Electric charge (Q)

Solution :-

I = 20 A

t = 10 min

t = 10 × 60 = 600 seconds

We know,

I = Q/T

Substituting,

20 = Q/600

Q = 20 × 600

Q = 12000

∴ Amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 12000 C.
