Question

an electric bulb draws a current at 0.5 amp for 10 minutes calculate the amount of charge flows through the circuit

Answer 1

current = 0.5A
time = 10 min =600 seconds
charge= qt
0.5*600
300columbs

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.
