Question

an electric current of 3A flows through a circuit for 20MIN. whta is the amount of charges flowing

Answer 1

Given,

The total current flowing through a circuit = 3 A

Duration of the flow of current = 20 mins

To find,

The amount of charge flowing through the circuit.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:

Mathematically,

Current flowing = (amount of charge flowing)/(time of flow)

=> amount of charge flowing = (current flowing)×(time of flow){

Statement-1}

Now, according to the question and statement-1;

The amount of charge flowing through the circuit

= (current flowing)×(time of flow)

= (3 A)×(20 mins)

= (3 A)×(20×60 s)

{Since 1 minute = 60 seconds}

= 3600 Coulombs

Hence, the amount of charge flowing through the circuit is equal to 3600 Coulombs.
