Question

An electric bulb draws a current of 0.5A for 10 minutes. Calculate the amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit.

Answer 1

Answer:

300 C

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 0.5 A

Time t = 10 min = 10 × 60 sec = 600 sec

We are asked to find charge Q :

We know :

Current = Charge / Time

i.e. I = Q / t

= > Q = I × t

Putting values here we get :

= > Q = 0.5 × 600 C

= > Q = 5 × 60 C

= > Q = 300 C

Therefore , amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 300 C

Answer 2

Answer:

300C

Explanation:

Given parameters

Current (I) = 0.5 A

Time (t) = 10 minutes

Time in minutes can be converted into seconds as follows

Time (t) = 10 × 60

t = 600 sec

Q = I × t

Q = 0.5 × 600

Q = 300 C
